What's Inside
How do you use each sense? What does each of your five senses do for you?
Use this book with a child who is learning about the body and the world around them. It gives a simple way to talk about sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. Children can practice naming each sense and connecting it to things they notice every day.
It fits well in kindergarten science, small-group reading, or one-on-one conversation at home. The clear question on the page invites children to think about their own experiences and explain how their senses help them.
