Reading Game - What's Next?For children ages 2 to 6Books with words or actions that appear over and over help your child to predict or tell what happens next. These are called "predictable" books. Your child will love to figure out the story in a predictable book!Predictable books help children to understand how stories progress. A child easily learns familiar phrases and repeats them, pretending to read. Pretend reading gives a child a sense of power and the courage to keep trying. What You Need Predictable books with repeated words, phrases, questions, or rhymes. What To Do The first activities in the list below work well with younger children. As your child grows older, the later activities let him do more. But keep doing the first ones as long as he enjoys them.
Little Pig: Not by the hair on my chinny-chin-chin! Wolf Voice: Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in! Your child will learn the repeated phrase and have fun joining in with you each time it shows up in the story. Pretty soon, he will join in before you tell him.
