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 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?

"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".

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.

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.
