Richard Scarry
My husband HATES story time when the boys pick their Richard Scarry books, but they are AWESOME from a teaching stand-point. The top ones for classification include:
- Cars and Trucks and Things that go
- What do People Do All Day
- Busy Busy World
- Best Word Book Ever
Sesame Street
My second favourite go-to for sorting…Sesame Street! Most of these are short you-tube clips. The last one is a book.
One of these things is not like the other
Sorting shapes on Sesame Street
Which one doesn’t belong (#WODB)
So super-excited for the release of Christopher Danielson’s new book this summer: Which one doesn’t belong? Complete with a Teacher Guide! Click here for details.
In the meantime though, Mary Bourassa has this website for an on-line version! Can’t wait to try it with Rory and see what he comes up with!
Computer games
We are a low-tech family and believe in the recommended screen-time for children (none for under 2 years and very little for 2-5 years). That being said, there are some fun activities for sorting! See below!
