Give Me 10 Time-Ten Red Apples
This week in therapy we have been reading the
book “Ten Red Apples” by Pat Hutchins. This book has lots of repetitive
language and counting and is a fun review of animal names and sounds.
On Youtube there are readings of the book you can watch together with
your child. Cheer and clap to the rhythm each time you hear “Yippee!
Fiddle-dee-fee!”
Go on a treasure hunt around your house and find
items that are red. Name the items using 2-4 word phrases such as “it’s
a cup” or “I see a cup.” Help your child recall 3-4 of the items you
found.
Here is a fun action poem. Model the actions and
words for your child, encourage him or her to begin to imitate the
actions and the last word of each line. Sometimes children need lots of
exposure before feeling comfortable to imitate or use words. Keep
repeating the poem. It might take 4-5 times before your child will
start to imitate.
