Alphabet Books: Alphabet books usually
feature the capital and lowercase forms of a letter on each page and one or
more pictures of something that begins with the most common sound that the
letter represents.
Counting (or number) Books:
In these books, each page usually presents one number and shows a corresponding
number of items (two monkeys, five dinosaurs, and so forth).
Concept Books: These books are
designed to teach particular concepts that children need to know in order to
succeed in school. Concept books may teach about colors, shapes, sizes (big,
little), or opposites (up, down). They may focus on classifying concepts (farm
or zoo animals, families around the world, different kinds of trucks, or
different places to live).
Nursery Rhymes: These books
often contain rhymes and repeated verses, which is why they are easy to
remember and recite and why they appeal to children.
Repetitious Stories and Pattern Books: In these predictable books, a word or phrase is repeated
throughout the story, forming a pattern. After the first few pages, your
children may be able to “read along” because they know the pattern. This
ability will let them experience the pleasure of reading.
Traditional literature:
Traditional literature includes fairy tales, folktales, fables, myths, and
legends from around the world and across the ages of time. Through these
beloved stories, children become familiar with many different times, cultures,
and traditions. Some stories, such as Cinderella, vary slightly from
culture to culture, and it is interesting to compare their differences.
Wordless Picture Books:
These books tell stories through pictures, without using words. Wordless
picture books give children the opportunity to tell stories themselves as they
“read,” an activity that most children enjoy. In telling their stories,
children develop language skills; they also get a sense of the sequence of
events in stories.
