Read It Again: Using Books to Build Language at Home:

Picture books provide a wealth of language and conceptual learning opportunities for children and children are often drawn to read their favorite books again and again. Reading books multiple times has many benefits.  The predictability of repeated reading allows a deeper dive into the language and elements of the story.  We can maximize the benefits of this this natural tendency of children to reread beloved books by being purposeful in how we read and engage our children in guided discussion.  In this webinar, the presenters will demonstrate how to determine different language elements that can be taught based on the text and illustrations as well as how to vary the purpose of reading the book with reach reading.  A list of the presenters’ favorite books and an easy framework for evaluating language targets will be discussed and provided for reference.”
