"This book is about merging math and literacy goals during the read aloud experience. Allison and Tony explore different types of read alouds-both those that are written with a math focus (like a counting book) and those that don't appear to be mathy. The book focuses on how to plan and enact different kinds of reads (math-focused, story-focused) of read alouds with the big goals of allowing kids to mathematize books and the world around them"-- Provided by publisher.
