One of my favorite books is Brown Bear, Brown Bear. I like that it is repetitious, and my children learn many concepts from the story such as color recognition, sounds of the animals, letters, words, and counting. While reading, I point to each word to expand on the language and literacy component. They share in the reading by predict events before and during reading. I usually stop at rhyming words to determine if the children can identify them. The children count and name the characters in the story. We create a graph with the characters, they choose their favorite, we compare and count, add the total, and post the graph in the classroom. This is a great teaching tool. Love this book!
