Colin Counts to 50 is aligned to the Common Core State Standards for English/Language Arts, addressing Literacy.RI.K.7 and Literacy.L.K.2. Colin counts apples at each of the cafeteria tables at lunchtime. Illustrated charts and diagrams–with accompanying accessible text–show readers that by adding tens together, we reach the number 50. This book should be paired with I Can Count to 50 (9781448887347) from the Rosen Common Core Readers Program to provide the alternative point of view on the same topic.
