School Readiness Tip: "It's as easy as 1...2...3! Use number words as adjectives: say, "we’ll read 3 books" instead of "we'll read 3." This helps your baby begin to understand quantity as a way to describe a group of objects." #montanalibrary #schoolreadiness #mathskills

School Readiness Tip: "Very young children need help understanding that other's thoughts/feelings differ from theirs. Help them grow this ability through conversations about the thoughts/feelings of puppets, dolls, or book characters." #montanalibrary #schoolreadiness
