Terrific Twos: The Color YELLOW

This week at Terrific Twos, we continue with our color theme.  The bright and vibrant color of YELLOW will be presented to those terrific two year olds!  Colors are a great way to introduce the many facets of a storybook and its pictures.  Through visualization of colors in books, combined with the new word of the color, enables your child to connect the two ideas.  By saying the word aloud, it enhances the concept of learning new words through new sounds and syllables.    Together, all these skills will help you get your child, Ready to Read!

Little Baby Rhyme
This little baby is ready for his nap,
Lay him down on his mother’s lap.
Cover him up so he won’t peep,
And rock him, rock him till he’s fast asleep.

This little baby is ready for his nap,
Lay him down on his father’s lap.
Cover him up so he won’t peep,
And rock him, rock him till he’s fast asleep.

Star Light, Star Bright Rhyme
Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight,
Wish I may, wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight.

Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight,
Wish I may, wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight.
