Over-sized books are a wonderful way to engage our early readers. The pictures and words are large enough to be seen while sitting at circle time, and the texts are often predictable so that students can help the teacher read along after 2 or 3 times. The large pages are also helpful to teach children book handling skills such as holding the book upright, turning the pages from front to back, and pointing to the words as they are read aloud. My students will love listening to these stories, following the words, and "reading" the pictures during group circle time.
