Here are some quick and fun ways to use this story to helpchildren build important alphabet recognition skills.

Ask children to find big H and small h at the top of the front cover. Review the H/h sound withchildren. Can they find two words in the title that begin with the letter H/h? Read the titlealoud, emphasizing the H/h sound as appropriate.

Flip the book over and read the story summary on the back cover. Ask children to point outwords they hear or see that begin with H/h. Explain that the story you are about to readincludes many more words that begin with the letter H/h. Can they help you find them?

Read the story aloud once for pleasure and enjoy together the whimsical illustrations. Thenreread the book, emphasizing the initial H/h sound in the appropriate words. Ask children tolisten closely for and identify all the words that start with H/h. Point out these words in the text,and make a list of them.

Write each of the words from your list on an unlined index card. Read each word on the cardsaloud with children. On another reading of the story, children can match the words on theindex cards with the words in the story.

Pages 14-15 of the book depict a busy scene full of H/h words. Some of these words havebeen introduced in the story, but a few are new. Ask children to find as many H/h words asthey can. Add any new words to your list. The H/h words depicted in the scene include: hippo,horse, hay, hog, hula-hoop, hen, hat, hamburger, hive, house, honeybees. (Children maycome up with other H/h words on their own!)

Read aloud the cheer on page 16 several times, with lots of energy and enthusiasm. Invite children to join you in reciting the cheer when they feel ready. Encourage them to find any new H/h words in the cheer. Again, add these words to your list.

Don’t let your exploration of the letter H/h end with the story! Display your list of words in aplace where children can easily see it. During the rest of the day or week, children can addnew H/h words that they encounter in other books, on signs, on food labels, and so on.
