Pattern Books or predictable texts are another helpful tool for early readers. Predictable books have a repeated phrase or similar phrases throughout the book while changing just one word or a few words. These new words can be difficult with a picture of that word. While students are repeating the same phrase over and over again, they are gaining security in sight words. They also gain confidence they were able to "read" the book, which gives them a positive reading experience.
Well-known books like "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" is typical of this type of book. Read to your child or if they are confident they can read to you. Let them read the book as many times as they need to own the language and enjoy it.
