"The world is your classroom, and you are your child's first-and best-teacher."
Read it at bedtime. Bring it on the trail! Rooted in the Science of Reading for preschool-aged children, Hike Colorado! is an interactive journey through language, literacy, and nature. Crafted by an educator with over 30 years of experience, this beautifully rhythmic book inspires families to bridge the gap between a cozy lap reading and the trailhead.
How to Play and Read Together:
Feel the Rhythm: Clap your hands or slap your knees as you read to help little ones internalize the beat of the language.
Break it Down: Play with sounds by breaking words apart and repeating the rhyming endings (e.g., p - ine, sp - ine).
Make the Symbol/Sound Connections: pointing to the letters while making their sounds.
Hear the Alliteration: Repeat the vocabulary at the top of each page, emphasizing the beginning sounds (e.g., /mmm/ Magpie, /mmm/ Moose).
Building Comprehension/Oral Language: Talk about the animals, the picture details, use the new and juicy words in other places and spaces.
Take the Learning Outdoors: Don't leave the book at home! Once you hit the trail, use Hike Colorado! to hunt for alphabet shapes hidden in nature and spark rich, sensory conversations that build lifelong reading comprehension. Recall when you see things on the trail that were in the book. Build those neural connections and vocabulary banks!
Grab your backpack, lace up your boots, and give your child the tools they need to unlock the love of reading. Adventure awaits-from A to Z!
