ABC Book

-Chicka Chicka Boom Boom: This book is a great read for


students with emergent abilities. This book is about letters
competing to be the first to make it to the top of the coconut
tree, and all of the sudden it crashes. This text is great for
primary levels because it has a lot of vibrant colors,
interesting words, and it is an easy read. These
characteristics make the children more excited and attentive
when reading. It also has rhyming, repetition,
and onomatopoeia, which will keep the children intrigued.
Martin, B., Archambault, J., & Ehlert, L. (1989). Chicka Chicka Boom
Boom. New York: Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing Division.

Counting Book
-The M&M's Counting Book: This counting book has various concepts within it. It not
only goes over numbers 1-12, but it also goes over sets, shapes,
and colors all through the use of a popular candy, M&M's. This
book appeals to emerging readers because it is a great way to
visualize abstract concepts, for example, two sets of six make 12.
This book is also a great way to introduce math to young students.
In the back of the book there is a review page where all the
numbers, shapes, colors, and sets of 12 are summarized. What
better way is there to motivate students about math through something they
are familiar with: chocolate!

Pattern Books
-If You Give a Mouse a Cookie: This book is an excellent choice to
show repetition and prediction. This book is about a boy giving a
mouse a cookie, and the requests from the mouse are never
ending. The book ends with the mouse asking for a cookie all over
again. This story provides opportunity for children to use their
imagination. This is crucially important because at primary age,
children are very curious and imaginative and this book can build
on that. The illustrations of this book correlate with the text and
help tell the story.
Numeroff, L. J., & Bond, F. (1985). If you give a mouse a cookie. New York: Harper & Row.

-Green Eggs and Ham: This classic Dr. Seuss book is a great way to get
children to read aloud with you because of the amount of repetition
within the text. This is one of those books that if it is read to a child so
many times, the child will start to pick up the familiar words that are
used throughout the book. The illustrations in this book have a huge
influence of the overall book. The pictures follow with the text and it is
a good way for the readers to observe what is happening through
facial expressions, colors, and motion. This book builds on the
imagination of primary readers and helps children with vocabulary
expansion.

Reflection
After taking a closer look at these texts, I have gained much insight on what exactly
emergent literacy books are. The story is not the only thing that makes a book,
there are more factors to consider. The font, colors, illustrations, page layout all are
major characteristics that should be analyzed when picking an emergent book. The
ages and stages should also be taken in consideration when analyzing these texts.
For example, at preschool age, children have a short attention span, so books that
are an easy read and can be completed in one sitting should be chosen.
