Benjamin Bradley Benton

Benjamin Bradley Benton wonders why he has ten wiggly fingers and ten wiggly toes; why his nose turns red when he is sick or when it snows. In Benjamin’s world, curiosity rules. And in sharing his wonder, we learn more about ourselves, others, and our world.

This is more than just an adorable storybook–it’s a unique tool that teaches families how to use essential reading and math strategies at home. Embedded symbols prompt parents to know exactly when to incorporate strategies to support their child’s early learning. As an added benefit, families will use these strategies as a springboard to apply with any book read aloud at home since the strategies are not title specific.

There’s more to story time than just reading aloud!

Parents can begin to easily incorporate literacy and math strategies used by the most effective educators of young children by using the strategies and activities found within this book.

Benjamin Bradley Benton uses strategy symbols that are placed within the story for parents to assist their children with developing vocabulary and strengthen comprehension each time they read aloud.

  • Word Wizard: Targets unfamiliar words or words with more than one meaning
  • Cosmic Connections: Focuses on making meaningful connections with a story based on prior knowledge or experiences

These strategies, plus the additional activities included in the back of the book, assist parents in teaching reading and math readiness skills when reading with children as young as two.

  • Kindergarten Orientation
  • Literacy Workshops
  • Parent Conferences
  • Parent Involvement Activities

Great for Title I schools, Head Start, and districts with family engagement initiatives!
