My child listened while I read Doggo and Pupper

Math

• The child can practice counting by counting the number of dogs mentioned in the story.
• The child can learn about addition and subtraction by counting the number of dogs added or removed from the story.
• The child can learn about patterns by identifying any repetitive actions or behaviors of the dogs in the story.
• The child can explore measurement by comparing the sizes of different dogs mentioned in the story.

Continued development can include creating a Doggo and Pupper-themed counting activity where the child counts objects related to dogs, such as bones or paw prints. They can also practice addition and subtraction by creating word problems involving the dogs from the story. For pattern exploration, the child can create their own "Doggo and Pupper" story where they incorporate patterns in the actions or behaviors of the dogs. To further explore measurement, the child can measure the height or length of different dog toys or create a graph comparing the sizes of different dog breeds.
