Tips for using Heave Ho! with children:
Help your child look for and identify the ‘number’ words on each page spread (twelve, first, second, etc…). For each ‘number’ word, write out its numeric equivalent (12, 1, 2, etc…) and discuss with your child.
Tips for using Heave Ho! with families:
Involve family members in encouraging children to invent their own stories in sentences, and in writing down each sentence for the children. Then, help the children count the number of sentences in their stories. Talk about the basic elements of a story, and ask children to help identify the beginning, middle and end of their tales.
