You will recognize many familiar books as you dive into this Emergent Storybooks shelf. When selecting these books, we prioritized stories that follow a conventional story structure and have illustrations that clearly match the words on each page. We’ve included stories you will want to read again and again. Once your students have heard a story several times, you will want to give them a chance to “read” the stories on their own. This reading will not be conventional, though you will want to call it “reading” nonetheless. With each reading, your students will reread or retell as be they can, building up story language and important reading behaviors. As they read, they will expand their knowledge of how a story goes and build a strong vocabulary.
This shelf includes 9 titles and 54 books.
