All Sorts of Numbers

Author/Illustrator: Hannah Reidy/Emma Dodd

About the Author:
Reidy is a published author of children's books. Some of her works include All Sorts Of Shapes, All Sorts Of Numbers, All Sorts Of Clothes, and All Sorts Of Noises.

Genre: Math
Grade Level: K-1
Theme: Counting

Synopsis:
This book is about counting and looking at pictures to count different objects either asked in the book or asked by the teacher reading the book.  It shows pictures of different objects such as jump ropes, kites, children, dice, bikes, boats, and balls.  These pictures are things that students will be able to recognize and be familiar with in order to help them count

Pre Reading Activity:

Activity:
Ask the students to count to 20 to see if they can count that high.  If not, have them go to ten to see if they have an idea of how to count before reading the book.
Post Reading Activity:

Activity:
After reading the story, have students find things in the classroom that they can gather and count together as a class.  See if each student can find something different in the room they can bring to count.


Reflection:
I think this is a great book to use because it allows students to count while they read.  Math is a hard subject for many kids and using books that will get children/students excited about math is the way to go!
