Benefits of predictable books
§ Children see themselves as “readers”.
§ Children learn the text quickly.
§ Join in on key words and phrases.
§ Children read along with simple texts.
§ Retell many predictable books verbatim.
§ As children acquire one-to-one matching
of spoken to written words, they may begin
to recognize words.

action.
§ Be expressive. Use gestures.
§ Use eye contact.
§ Vary the length of the story to match children’s
attention span.
