At what age should a child be able to trace numbers?

The children are expected to start tracing numbers and letters by the age of 3 to 4. Children start with scribbling on the paper and slowly as their pencil control gets better their number and letter formation start getting better. Tracing worksheets are always great to give children that extra push to recognise numbers quickly. Once children know how to trace numbers 0 to 9 they can practically write any number.

A few weeks back when in school my son who is in reception started learning the topic of Telling Time, I head over to Argos to find something that can help him a little more to understand this tricky topic. That’s the day when I found this True Gem. It not only helped my little son but also by a daughter who is currently in year 3.

The clock is well made with a beautiful red apple shape. The clock features a bee button, a quiz button and the moving minute hand and hour hand. The bee button tells you the time that is on the clock with this functionality my son learned o clock and half-past in no time. My son repeat the time as he hears the clock telling him time. The toy is brilliant at stimulating your child’s brain and practising numbers.

The quiz button is just superb as it tests children knowledge. As the child presses the quiz button it asks children to tell the specific number. I turn the clock on quiz mode and give it to my daughter every night as she practices her time telling skills.

My son learning to tell the time.

In the end, I loved this clock and highly recommend you to buy this. It is well worth every penny and your child will surely gain time telling knowledge with it.

by Michael Rosen, Helen Oxenbury

Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury’s We’re Going on a Bear Hunt became an instant favourite among children and parents. It first hit the shelves in 1989 since then this book became a classics of all times. Meanwhile, a number of books came and fade away but this book is still most loved.

David Lloyd, Editor at Large, Walker Books said:

“ I first heard the mighty sound of Michael Rosen performing the piece, accompanied by 100+ children in a classroom in London. What excited me at once was the togetherness, the joyful way the children joined in, roaring the lines. What a beautiful day! We’re not scared.”

Storyline:

The book starts where father with his three kids and dog set off for a bear hunt. They seem very determined, energetic and BRAVE, as they kept saying “We are not scared“. On their way to catch the bear they find a number of obstacles (like Long wavy grass, squelchy mud, dark forest, swirling snow storm and dark gloomy cave) and they can’t “Go Over It, They Can’t go Under it. Oh NO! they Got to go through it“. The author use wonderful descriptive words to make the reader feel that they are inside the book and feeling all those obstacles. Finally, the family reached to the cave where they find the BEAR and guess what !! They got scared and ran back home, which wasn’t even easy as they had to face all those obstacles again.

My thoughts:

I first read we’re going on a bear hunt in a children centre where I used to take my daughter a few years back. I must admit I quickly fell in love with the story. It’s very well written, quite engaging and beautifully presented.  The blend of colourful and, black and white pages makes the book more attractive to kids. That day when I came home I went straight to amazon and order this book for my daughter. My daughter listened to this book numerous times and now when she can actually reads it herself, her love for this book is still there. The book is full of lovely feelings which reader can feel while singing the book. I have read this book like 100 of times to my own and other children, trust me I never got disappointed as it kept them engage till the very last end. The book can also be sung like a song and children just love it as well. The book comes in paper form, broad book and Big book for schools – all are really lovely and you will feel that you have well spent your hard-earned money. In the end, I would say you should give this book a try, You and your children will absolutely love it. BUY NOW by clicking here.

What others think about the book:

According to the most reputable books site, www.goodread.com people absolutely love it.

According to the The Independent on Sunday, this book is

“A dramatic and comic masterpiece… Beautifully produced, written and illustrated, this is a classic work for any age at any period.”

“A big bold story perfectly matched by Helen Oxenbury’s illustrations, it captures the happiness and excitement of a family day out.”

The Sunday Times added

“Lovely to read aloud and beautiful to look at.”
