The Wheels on the Bus was a hit. They love to sing the Song & do the actions . Also Animal Sounds Book is a Favorite

One of my infants has recently developed a love for song books. In our classroom, we have a "old MacDonald" and a couple of others that go to the tunes of popular children's songs. Those are always the ones he picks and brings to me to read/sing to him. If he takes them to another teacher and they just read the words instead of singing it, he loses interest quickly.

My children really enjoyed reading "Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What do you hear?" I brought this book home last week from the public library and they just loved it! They love repeating the "Polar Bear, Polar Bear" verse, and clapping their hands to the rhythm of the book. They also like figuring out the sounds of each animal in the book.

I recently read the book Mouse Paint to a small group of children. They were attentive and replied when asked about each color as it appeared on the page. They smiled and genuinely enjoyed the book. We extended the concept in the book by actually dancing in paint puddles with our bare feet and then on huge sheets of white paper pretending we were the little white mice. Big fun!

A book we love is the "First Signs" book that shows signs for basic every day objects or phrases in the every day routine of a young child. We look at the child showing the sign, we act it out ourselves with our hands. I show them, and they copy it. And we say the word out loud, I start, they repeat. They absolutely love that book.

I shared a book called BOO! Every time the word BOO appeared on the page I would have the class say it with me. It was a mystery during halloween and we had to figure out what was saying "boo". It is a board book with just the right amount of words per page and it keeps a toddlers attention. It is one of those books that will be on repeat!

The children in our toddler classroom love "Goodnight Moon". We read a book to each child on their mat right before nap time. Many want to have that book read to them, so I end up reading it multiple times in one sitting. The children enjoy pointing out the items we are saying goodnight to, and then finding the mouse in each room picture.

I like to read Where The Wild Things Are to my 2 year olds. We talk about the different facial expressions that Max gives and the different things that happen to him in the book. The children participate and interact with me as we talk about different things. They enjoy the changes in facial expression.

The book i have shared with my toddlers and preschoolers is "I Love the Rain" where the kids are preparing for fall and rainy season in Seattle and by reading the book they can imagine what they will do when it starts raining. They could connect to the book and shared their experiences with friends and learned some vocabulary words.

We have one child who recently began attending the daycare and he uses glasses. The children were curious because there aren't any other kids that use glasses so I read a book that had illustrations showing all kinds of people wear glasses and they went from thinking the glasses were strange to thinking they were cool and it encouraged the kids to try on glasses we have in our dress up area.

Children in my classroom really enjoy touch and feel books. They love the tactile experience that they get by touching and feeling the different textures in every page. For example, Bouncy Rabbit.

A book that is a common read in my classroom is Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see? This book is a favorite and one that is read repeatedly. The children love to know what is coming next. We also like to change it up and do the animal sounds instead of just naming the animal. We also mix it up and talk about the colors.

Recently I have been reading "Dinosaur Roar!" with my toddler class. On each page, I have an action or a sound to go with it. For example, when it says "dinosaur roar!, dinosaur squeak", then I roar and then squeak. The kids respond by laughing, smiling pointing at the book, and also joining me by roaring and squeaking.

I have a red bookcase of books we call "Books that sing". Each book is sung. Some of them are to real songs while others are books that lend themselves to be sung. We have 2 favorites, "If you are a Robot and You Know It" is a pop up book. The children love to sing and do the actions to this. The second book is Morningtown Ride. The children love tossing this one soft and then loud at the last refrain.

I was able to learn how to pronounce them ( well to the best if my abilities and i read them all out loud every day. They older babies love hearing the different ways I say them. Some giggle when they hear the funny word!

Working with infants 4 months to 11 months can be hard to keep there interest in books. They love when you sing and act out a book and they try to copy you. Soft books with animals are a big hit in our cllass

My favorite example of a time I shared a story in my class is very recently. A child, let's call them Skyler, and I shared the story "Little Blue Truck" together many, many times over during their stint in my toddler room. A few months ago, Skyler transitioned to the preschool, and last week I had the opportunity to spend some time playing with all of my old kids in their new space. I heard Skyler yelling out on the yard, "I'M COMING THROUGH!" which prompted me to jump in with, "I've got important things to do! I haven't got time to pass the day with every duck along the way!" (You know you've read "Little Blue Truck" too many times when...

Skyler BURST out laughing and squealed, "DAS FROM DA BOOK!" It was a real moment of connecting joy for us.

I recently acquired some sign language board books, my only mobile infant loves to crawl over to our bookshelf and bring me books and then crawl in my lap for cuddles and a story, she is beginning to point and loves to turn the pages and lift the flaps in the book and will look to me when she lifts the flap and I with read and sign what ever the object is.

Having taught first and second grade for 25 years I love the fact that I can engage preschoolers in literature. I use the word predict and picture clues continually while reading to small groups. I love the "Carl" books, as they have few words and students must use the picture clues to tel the story. engage preschoolers in literature.

One book I've read alot maybe even more then twice a day is "Bear's family" during each reading we interact with what is going on in the book for example it saids " smell the bread my grandma bakes" and I have the children smell the air and the book. They find it funny.

Most recently, several children in our classroom love reading (and touching) the book, Never Touch a Spider. It's very colorful, each page/spider has a different texture to touch, and it has some rhyming. We read it over and over and over.

I work with young infants(4 weeks-7 months) and there is a particular book I read every single day. It is one of the small, thick books. Each page is a body part and when I read that then I point to their part on their body. And then I sing "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes". I think they enjoy it because my older babies smile/laugh when I point out their parts.

Alice Everhart

I can’t count all the great children’s books that we read every day. On nap time I read Interrupting ChickenThis book, all about bedtime reading, might actually be too funny to read at bedtime. A little chicken wants her daddy to read her a bedtime story, but she can’t stand to watch her beloved fairy tale characters make mistakes

Juan Ingles

12/27/2018 12:03:06 pm

Dinosaur Roar! is a book filled with colorful dinosaurs exhibiting opposites, like big and small, clean and dirty. The rhyme scheme engages the children with visual representations to teach them more about their world!~ It's the one that kids grab the most and bring to me. So something about it is engaging

My infants love to read books that have to deal with feel and touch but mostly books that have the flaps they can pull. In my classroom I have created a quite reading area for my babies where they can go and explore the books. It is very neat with some of my students how they already know and love to turn the pages of the books at eight to twelve months.

Color in food. My infants are 4-8months. I have taken opportunities to read to the older infants while they are eating in high chairs. They thoughtfully look and listen while I read and identify foods illustrated brightly by color. It is my way to introduce simple vocabulary with subjects that may be of high interest to them.

I really love to read the book “No, David!” By David Shannon. My toddler class really responds to it because the messages are simple and we can easily connect them to our class safety rules. My class really likes to talk about ways that David in the story could be safe or what he should do instead.

I recently read 'How to Catch Santa Claus' and the kids loved it! It's a board/pop out book. It also had things like textures to feels, and they laughed at the silly ideas. They also enjoyed hunting for Santa in the picture. I had each child take a turn turning the page so it was a chance to practice waiting and sharing too!

I recently shared my book called dragon tales. It was about a baby dragon who didn't fit in with the big kids and all she she did to show she could only made things worse for her. At the end of the book she ended up being a hero and had made many many friends. This made the kids have inspiration because a lot of them can relate to having an older sibling who they wish would allow them to play with them and just feel accepted. The kids also loved the adventure in this story as well, overall it was a great pick.
