Extend the Learning with Sesame Street
Ernie's Neighborhood
Imagine with Ernie!
• Ernie imagines all of the things he could do as he walks
around the neighborhood. As you read this story with your
child, point to various objects and talk about what each object
is and how it is used.
• Talk about what other things a baker, a ballplayer, a farmer
and an artist might need in order to do their jobs.
• Ask your child to draw a picture and describe it to you.
Then write a description about your child's drawing.
Elmo's Noisy Day
Listen with Elmo and Zoe!
• Elmo and Zoe go on a sound search and collect many noises in
boxes and jars! As you read this story with your child, pause
and listen to the sounds around you. What does your child
hear? See if you can find any of the same sounds that Zoe
and Elmo found.
• Suggest that your child draw pictures of objects in your home
that make sounds (e.g., telephone, clock, etc.). Then write the
names of these objects. Encourage your child to place these
pictures and names next to the objects they represent just like
Zoe and Elmo did!
Elmo's Big Surprise
Rhyme and Count with Elmo!
• Elmo is planning a big surprise party! As you read this story
with your child, pay close attention to the rhyming on each
page. When you come to a rhyme, stop and encourage your
child to repeat the words that sound the same. What other
words sound the same?
• While decorating, Zoe is holding a bunch of balloons. How many
is she holding? What else is there around your home that your
child can count? How about counting tee shirts in a drawer, or
magazines in a rack?
