Summer Counting Adapted Book & Math Activities | Ten Little Fireflies
Product Description
Summer Counting Adapted Book & Math Activities | Ten Little Fireflies is a fun, hands-on summer-themed math resource for preschool, Pre-K, kindergarten, special education, autism classrooms, and speech therapy. This interactive adapted book helps students practice counting, number identification, number words, simple addition, and the concepts of up/down and high/low through repeated text, rhyme, and active participation.
This printable set includes an interactive adapted book, “put in” activity, number sequencing strips, counting clip cards, up/down concept clip cards, and 3 extension worksheets for extra practice. As the teacher or therapist reads the story, students count the fireflies, match the correct number and number word to each page, and “catch” a firefly to place in the jar. It is a great fit for small groups, math centers, literacy centers, independent work stations, and therapy sessions.

In this activity, the teacher or therapist reads the story to a small group of students, as students follow counting the fireflies and matching a number and number word to each page. Students will also "catch" a firefly on each page and put it "in the jar."
Students working at an independent level may read through the summer adapted book and work through questions in a literacy center or independent work station. There are several extension activities included for extra practice. (Please see photos and video for details.)
Sample Text:
"Ten little fireflies were flying in the sky.
One flew low, and nine flew high.
Up went the firefly but didn't get far.
Down came the net, and we put in the jar.
Nine little fireflies were flying in the sky.
One flew low, and eight flew high.
Up went the firefly but didn't get far.
Down came the net, and we put in the jar.
