Read It

Have your child read the passage below out loud.

Hey Diddle Diddle

Hey diddle diddle

The cat and the fiddle

The cow jumps over the moon

The little dog chuckles

To see such sport

And the dish runs away with the spoon

Hey diddle diddle

The sheep took a leap

The hen and the rooster began to peep

The horse shook his mane 

The pig gave a cheer

And the stars in the sky shone bright and clear

Explain It

Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:

1. What did the cow do in the story?

2. Without looking back, can you spell "fiddle?"
