2. Part of the "Beginners Book Series", Hop on Pop is an illustrated book which rhymes words and pictures in a way that encourages children to read.

3. Hop on Pop Dr. Seuss Ask students to give words that rhyme. Discuss which rhyming words have the same final sound but different initial sounds. Talk about what we predict “Hop on Pop” will be about. Ask students what they think would happen if they really hopped on pop. Read “Hop on Pop”. Write rhyming words in their flip books from the story. Also write some words the students want to share on a chart at the front of the room. Students should practice circling the initial sounds of the words and underlining the final sounds on the chart at the front of the room. The students should then circle and underline accordingly in their flip chart. Sing 3 Little Monkeys jumping on the bed.

4. = This nonsensical romp through a gallery of imaginary creatures introduces beginning readers to a variety of rhyming letter combinations. Meet the Yink, who likes to wink and drink pink ink. Or the Yop, who hops from finger top to finger top. Then there is morose Ned who doesn't like his little bed. The short anecdotal poems have just the right combination of humor and the fantastic to enrapture readers.

5. One Fish, Two Fish… Dr. Seuss Read “One Fish Two Fish…” Discuss how the story has a pattern of the colored fish. Use laminated colored fish to put in a basket. Each student at the center will pick up a fish from the basket and complete its order for the math pattern. The laminated fish of color, shape, and size, are used to complete the patterns indicated on a handout given by the teacher. When activity is over, talk about the different fish in the ocean using the different sized, colored, and shaped pieces.

6. Bartholomew & the Oobleck (1949), written and illustrated by Dr. Seuss, was a nice read. I don’t know how I never ending up reading this book, but I never did until this May. I read it to my class. We were supposed to make the oobleck but ended up running out of time. That’s okay ’cause I will make this one of my first science experiments when I return to work. I would recommend this book for children as young as 4 years old.

7. Bartholomew & the Oobleck Dr. Seuss The students should buddy read “Bartholomew and the Oobleck”. Students then should complete the experiment to make oobleck with older partner. Ask questions about if oobleck is a solid, liquid, or gas. Have the students determine this by using their hands to explore the oobleck. When done, discuss with students the way that the king was acting. “What emotions did he have?” “How would you of handled the situation?” “How can we learn from the kings mistake?” Describe another story that is like this story.

11. 10 Apples Up On Top! Dr. Seuss Explain to students you have 10 precut apples and they must get on the apple tree. As you read the story, have the students place the apple one at a time on the giant laminated apple tree. When the story is over, and all of the apples are up, count the apples as a class. Then, sing the Spanish song of numbers 1-10 counting the apples in Spanish.
