I love to read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. It can be made to sound very dramatic. I also love to read The Napping House. It work to build knowledge of chronology and the descriptive language that keeps them interested.

Dr. Seuss books are always good because they keep the children's attention. Many of the books practice sight words for younger students. "The very hungry caterpillar" and "Are you my mother" are also great children's books because one can ask the children question on what happened in the book, how the characters may have felt, and discuss their favorite parts and pictures.

I love the book, "Nibbles the Book Monster". This book is very interactive with the children. Something new surprises us every time we read it with something new.

Goodnight Moon is a great book for younger children. It has a sweet cadence and the rhythm of the book is easily copied and memorized by older toddlers. Plus the art is fantastic for asking interactive questions.

I read The Kissing Hand on the first day of preschool. It helps calm separation anxiety. It also helps me understand the maturity level and language skills of each child. As the children share and use feeling words we discuss the meaning of those words.

My Favorite story would be "Catalina Magdalina Hoopinstiener Wallendiner Hogan Logan Bogan was her Name" Tedd Arnold. This story is fun and super silly. Teaches basic phonemic awareness through chanting and singing while rhyming. We talk about names and how many names do you have? How many letters are in your names?

My absolute favorite book to read to young children is 'Jesse Bear, What Will You Wear?' It is short, playful and based on the rhythm of a child's own day. The story has a sweet cadence and rhyme and the illustrations invite conversation.

"There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Spider" It's funny, a little gross and it is repetitive. The kids like to listen to the impossible series of events...and they tend to remember the steps the poor old woman took. After reading, we review the things she swallowed. The same theory works for the "Gingerbread Boy".

Fav Books, How can i choose just one.
DR Seuss ABC is super fun to read to all ages. If you sing it when you read it, the kids have a blast singing along and looking at the interesting imaginative pictures too. So they learn by sight, sound and signing!

One of my favorite books that are designed for kids is the very hungry caterpillar, this book is very colorful , simple to follow along with,and it can also be very educational. This book is also good for kids because it promotes questions and repeats words along the way. Depending on the age group the kids can even read along with you.

"Click, Clack, Moo Cows That Type" is one of my favorite books to read to with the children. It's a silly book with great illustrations and the children enjoy adding there thoughts to the book. After we are done reading I have observed the older children pretending to type notes to each other.

I love all Pete the Cat books because there is usually a repetitive line and the children love to shout it out. This helps with language development because the kids are listening intently for the cue to shout out the line and by the end of the book all the kids understand what the words are and are so excited about the new phrase.

I love Dr. Seuss books. They have a book for all different age levels. The younger children love the rhyming and color challenge books while the older children love to read them as they have easy to read books. Sometimes the older children read to the younger children and it is a win-win situation.

The Very Busy Spider by Eric Carle is one of my favorites. It encourages language development by use of repetition and rhythm, and by encouraging children to repeat the animal sounds, saying animal names, and acting out animals found in the book. It also incorporates the sense of touch to help develop language when the children touch the long silky thread that the spider is spinning.

I love to read; The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry, and THE BIG,HUNGRY BEAR by Don and Audrey Wood. It is an endearing, funny, totally engrossing story. It's one of the class favorites. When I read it, I bring the class into the story as we follow along with mouse as he picks the strawberry that the big hungry bear can smell a mile away. It's a wonderful adventure appreciated pre-school age through first grade. The children are full of ideas as to what mouse should do and how to hide the RED RIPE STAWBERRY from THE BIG HUNGRY BEAR.
