Pattern Fish by Trudy Harris is a great book because it teaches students how to do patterns in a fun and interesting way. Patterning is a skill that students will recognize and utilize in the real world. There are fun and interesting ways to help students learn patterning. One could be having them line up blocks in a ABAB order. Another thing they could do would be using playing cards to form patterns. An additional activity would be to encourage students to make patterns during dramatic play, music and movement, and science center. I would defiantly recommend this book to many teachers to read to their students because it teaches patterning in a fun and interesting way. I will defiantly read this book to my students because I want to make learning fun and ensure that students are able to recognize and construct patterns. ( )
