Teaching the Days of the Week
Teaching children the days of the week is an important building block in their academic journey.
To ensure that students remain engaged in the learning process, teachers should offer a combination of different activities and visual aides such as pictures and interactive worksheets.
An effective way to introduce the days of the week could involve singing a song that includes each day of the week (e.g “The Days of the Week Song”). This can be done in weekly intervals to engage and encourage memorization.
Additionally, assistive technology such as iPads may be used to introduce various apps that initiate more creative online activities suitable for kindergarteners – such as illustrated card-based flashcards with accompanying audio files.
Ultimately, teachers must develop a plan which allows them to individualize these activities according to each student’s needs and interests.

Here are some great days of the week books for kids that you can read with them:
