Reading stories with children introduces them to the complex nature of language and helps them acquiring important language skills. However, the type of books read to children contributes to the depth of their learning. Parents should try to include a variety of books in their read aloud experience. Different types of books are associated with different amounts and types of language and each will encourage a different conversation with children. Following is a brief discussion of various types of books that should be offered to young children:

Picture storybooks. Text and illustrations tell the story in picture story books. This type of book is especially appropriate for young children because the colorful and clear illustrations support a simple story line. The illustrations often provide additional information not covered in the text. Rhyming stories and books with repeated patterned sounds are particularly interesting to children. Picture storybooks remain children’s favorite books long after their preschool years.

Predictable books. Predictable books involve children in the reading experience. The patterned language, repetitive phrases, and predictable storylines help preschoolers anticipate what is coming next. They also help children understand language and how sentences and stories are put together. Older preschoolers will often be able to repeat elements of these stories when the book is reread, which is an important pre-reading skill.

Wordless books. Though wordless books contain little or no text, they have a real story to tell. Readers must interpret the stories from the pictures, examining details and expressions carefully. This experience helps children focus on the sequence in the stories and give them the opportunities to use “book language.” Some stories in wordless books are simple, but others are quite sophisticated and are meant for older children.
