Ten For Me is a fun fiction story perfect for introducing younger readers to addition and using rhythm and repetition for all ages to help them learn basic math facts.
Rose & Ed (two adorable kids your kids will identify with) decide to go out and catch butterflies, armed with their butterfly nets, little cages and Rose's handy little book about butterflies. Each day each child catches a different amount of butterflies and they add them up to see who has the most. As each day goes on Rose gets more and more down until suddenly she starts to catch more than Ed!
Using Rose's book about butterflies they learn about the lifecycle of butterflies, what they eat and they also keep a tally of the number of butterflies they catch and release (this is something YOUR kids can do too). The story is told in a fun little rhyming format and your kid's will quickly start repeating the addition part as you read it aloud.
That second day out still wasn't much fun
cause' Ed netted nine and I netted one!
How many in all? Let's add them again.
"Well, 9+1=10!" Ed said. "9+1=10!"
