How to use it
Find the first number together and join the dots in order with a pencil. When the picture appears, color it in and talk about what it shows. It is pitched at the expected level for Grade 3, for practice after the skill has been taught.
An answer key comes with it as a separate page that grown-ups download after signing in.
Tip for grown-ups: Keep the picture a surprise: guess what it is halfway through, then finish to check.
Done on paper? A grown-up can record it on the child's page in PlayOwl; downloading alone doesn't count as finished.
