With so many wrong animals, can Tom ever find his right one?

-
Opposites
Learning about opposites teaches children to compare two things. It encourages them to look at what is the same and what is different, and to understand what specifically it is that MAKES an item different.

Identifying Text
Being able to sound out a word and match it with a picture is an essential part of reading. Similar word options require children to truly decode text, rather than just guess.

Decoding Text
Decoding text is an important part of reading comprehension. That means asking a child to read a sentence without any visual cues and then asking them what it said or what it meant.
