Room on the Broom
Not only is this a delightful rhyming book to read to the children, but
it's also a wonderful book to develop story sequencing and language
skills. Below you will see some manipulatives used to reinforce
the concept of "first and last". (The first animal on the broom
was the cat, the last was the frog.) The children retold the
story using these manipulatives which were made by scanning the
pictures and cutting out the characters.
