\u0026nbsp;Counting is the foundation of all math in kindergarten. \u0026nbsp;Showing your student the one to one connection in counting will help your child in math and in the social aspect of kindergarten (counting the number of students at the table for treats, for example!) \u0026nbsp;How do you do this: \u0026nbsp;count everything you see! \u0026nbsp;Trees, flowers, dishes, you will

the hard piece that runs along the back. \u0026nbsp;Holding the book so that the print and pictures are right side up is important, as well as know that the book pages turn from right to left.

being able to put down on paper a drawing that represents a story and being able to tell the story from the drawing. \u0026nbsp;The best way to practice this is to have an experience, such as making breakfast, and then have your child draw it and retell the story. \u0026nbsp;Talk about how all experiences can make a story, even the ones as simple as making breakfast. \u0026nbsp;These are called
