I would choose this book as it has lots of colorful pictures, and you sing it in a way that gets a child involved. I have read this to many toddlers before and they seemed to really like the book, and will tap along while i sing the words. I had one toddler who was starting to understand some of the words and would mimic what i was saying. By singing the words of the book it gets students more involved.

I really like this book for infants and toddlers because it has a repeated phrase throughout the whole story and it goes over topics, like colors and animals. Also, I like this book because it has colorful pictures that really engage young children and make them interested in participating. I have read this to toddlers and two year olds and they love copying the repeated phrase and saying the name of the animal. This helps to improve oral language skills. ]]> 2020-02-12 22:23:36 UTC https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/444701553 https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/444717108 We liked this book for infants and toddlers because it simple and interactive. It allows students to be able to identify the shapes without having to be able to read. The words are there as more of a resource than a necessity. At the end of the book it shows how you can put shapes together to make different objections. For example: five circles together can make a caterpillar. We will use this book to support oral language development by having the children repeat the shapes name after we have modeled each one.]]> 2020-02-12 23:06:11 UTC https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/444717108 https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/444758952 By: Karen Beaumont
I like this book or toddlers because it compares features that humans have or how they may be feeling and expresses that it is okay to be yourself and feel how you feel. It has a lot of colorful pictures and not too many words. I would use the book to support oral language development by having the children share out something they like about themself. This will build their confidence, while getting to know one another.

I think this particular book would do a good job fostering oral language development because due to the short and choppy sentences, it is easy for children of all ages to follow along. Whether it be through echo reading, where the students repeat after the teacher, or just by having students make comments about the pictures along the way. ]]> 2020-02-13 02:07:53 UTC https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/444770940 https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/444804018 by: Mem Fox
I would choose this book because it uses rhyme and repetition throughout the whole book. This supports oral language because having repetition and rhyme gives children the ability to predict what is next or repeat the words back. It is very diverse and shows babies around the world and how they all have the similarity of having ten fingers and ten toes. This is great to show that even though we may look different we have commonalities.  ]]> 2020-02-13 04:04:20 UTC https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/444804018 https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/445716267 I would choose this book because the illustrations can really attract a reader/listener in. The book is an award winning book that brings up the topic of diversity in a simple, light hearted way for little children to comprehend. I would use this book to strength the children's literacy by having them draw the differences and similarities of the characters and create their own dialogue of the story either written or orally. This way, students can start to learn about diversity within our schools, homes, lives, etc. ]]> 2020-02-14 17:56:41 UTC https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/445716267 https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/445740991 I would choose this book to use with infants or toddlers because it provides a foundation for them to begin counting. The book introduces counting subtly as each day the caterpillar eats one more of a object. The illustrations provide for opportunities for children to point out the objects that are being counted/eaten by the caterpillar. The illustrations also have a lot of color and different visuals for the students to explore while reading as well.]]> 2020-02-14 18:41:09 UTC https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/445740991 juhl4513 https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/445956773 I would choose this book for toddlers because it is simple, repetitive, and colorful. It supports oral language because children identify each of the zoo animals and have to connect what noises they make. When teachers or parents read this book to children, it is a great way to practice making the animal noises out loud. For example, a child sees a picture of a snake they will know it makes a hissing sound and can show that they know it verbally. ]]> 2020-02-15 17:48:18 UTC https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/445956773 liychik8023 https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/445996873 I really like this book for infants and toddlers because of its use of repetition and rhyming. This book can be done almost in a song with lots of YouTube videos for you to sing along with if needed :). This book also does a great job of introducing colors and different objects that represent those colors. Young children are typically more captivated by patterns and songs as well, which would draw them to the text more instead of them getting bored too quickly. There are of course many other Pete the Cat books that would also be great for young learners with a variety of topics, but this one is my favorite by far! ]]> 2020-02-15 23:47:52 UTC https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/445996873 https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/446110018 I chose this book to use with infants and toddlers because of its use of interaction and onomatopoeias. This book could be used in many different ways, but one of my favorites is just as a read aloud. I have seen children get really excited about all the exciting words and noises. The book also emphasizes rhyming that help students develop phonological awareness.

I chose this book because of the repetition, rhyming, familiar objects, and vocabulary. The repetition and rhyming help children to develop oral vocabulary, understand that print carries meaning, and predict which words are coming next. The rhyming also helps children to develop a sense of word patterns and other phonological awareness.

I chose this book because after all these years I still remember it being read to me as a child. It has repetition of words, speaking and singing, the concept shows the children what love is (so if they come from an unloving home it provides positive examples), and high in sight words. The book can be used to develop oral language development through reading it out loud themselves focusing in fluency (the repetition), and expression (singing part of text). The text overall provides many different read-aloud practices, good use of repetition, and a healthy topic.]]> 2020-02-17 00:44:14 UTC https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/446180869 butscher_maria https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/446181645 I chose this story by Marcus Pfister because it can spark conversations about empathy and feelings. Students are able to discuss how different fish in the book feel when being turned away, alone, and when they are accepted. Students can use the pictures to further their understanding of the text and can also create their own stories that are similar. Students can try and relate to different fish and use their artistic ability to try and create a fish that represents unique abilities about themselves. This story shows children that everyone is unique but it is more important to use your gifts for good instead of keeping them to and for yourself.]]> 2020-02-17 00:47:22 UTC https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/446181645 https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/446443594 I chose this book because of the repetition and rhyming. This helps children predict what word is coming next even when they cannot read it and enhances their oral vocabulary. It teaches children that they can do anything if they want to and that sometimes they just need to find a different way to do it. It prompts the conversation of differences and how just because someone is different doesn't mean that they are worse or inferior. The images help children learn the words by showing what the text is saying. ]]> 2020-02-17 16:57:27 UTC https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/446443594 https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/446561252 I chose the book "Why should I listen?" by Claire Llewellyn because of the repetition. This book focuses on why it's important to listen to you family, friends, and teachers. Some young children can forget the importance of following directions and paying attention to certain things. This book focuses on questions children are likely to ask and explain the answers in a way that children will understand. I will use this to support oral language development because it uses repetition to explain a specific topic, and with repetition, children are more likely to pick it up.

It includes some rhyming and is very silly, which young children love. The pages include bright, vivid colors that are also fun for young children. I think this would especially be a fun book for toddlers who are beginning to learn about their body parts. It would increase their vocabulary and strengthen their oral language skills, on this topic. You can encourage them to point to each of the different animals' noses, while pointing to your own and asking the child to do the same, each time saying "nose".

This story is simple enough so the concepts are not too difficult for a toddler to understand. It is about a red crayon that can only color blue and it’s journey to finding out who they really are, which is that they can be blue if they want to be! This Tory is very cute and easy to follow. This could be used to support oral language development because it is a very expressive book so it could potentially help teach kids to be more expressive when they are talking. ]]> 2020-02-19 02:57:02 UTC https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/447213882 jamison8477 https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/447222972 This book is great for toddlers because it is about animals, which is something that young children are probably familiar with from books, TV, or even the zoo. This book has large 2-page drawing of the animals in the book, which would catch young childrens’ eyes. It also contains simple word patterns and a lot of repetition, which would make it great for toddlers. This book would support oral language development because it I full of new vocabulary words that they will hear. ]]> 2020-02-19 03:26:08 UTC https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/447222972 https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/447488877 This book is a high quality text that you can use with toddlers. I remember that as a child, this book was read to me a lot at home, and I also heard it at school. This book does not have many large words, and it has a silly plotline that makes it easy for students to follow along to and enjoy. It is also a good book, because it is introducing children to a sequence of events in an easy way. For example, it says if you give a mouse a cookie, then he will want milk, then he will probably ask for a straw, and so on. This will show the children a sense of cause and effect in a very easy way. I also enjoyed this book because of the illustrations. ]]> 2020-02-19 15:59:59 UTC https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/447488877 https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/447715125 I chose this book because it doesn’t have any written words, so it gives young children an opportunity to imagine and be creative with what they think is happening in the story. It lets the child become the story teller, and they can practice their narrative and speaking skills.  Parents can also explain what is happening in the book if they want to. There are many books out there now a days where they have pictures and not words, and this is great for small children.

It can also be a fun read. I could use this book to support oral language by asking the toddlers what they predict will come next in the story. What will the mouse ask for next? This book also allows for the reader to ask questions such as "Why do you think the mouse wanted milk?".]]> 2020-02-19 21:16:27 UTC https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/447734505 https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/447747486 Chica chica boom boom 

I chose this book because it is a nice easy read for toddlers to follow along with and is an awesome resource for students to start to learn their letters of the alphabet. And not to mention this book is such a fun book to read and can keep toddlers entertained very easily if you do a great interactive reading. ]]> 2020-02-19 21:48:31 UTC https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/447747486 https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/447748321 This text is high quality for your children because it has a lot of repetition so it helps them understand that words have a specific meaning. This story could support oral language because you many model the phrases that are stated in the book, and children can copy them. ]]> 2020-02-19 21:51:01 UTC https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/447748321 https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/448387135 I chose this book because it is great for students who are learning to read. When a child is learning to read, it is very beneficial for the student to be reading rhyming books and/or repetitive books. When doing so, the child can see patterns and recognize those certain words easier. This also makes students become more fluent when reading because rhyming helps children learn not to pause in the middle of their speech]]> 2020-02-21 00:28:47 UTC https://padlet.com/aboardman1/esnywkmbgtpy/wish/448387135
