Most of my students have limited verbal skills so we are always looking for ways to give our kids a voice. One of the most school things for young children is story time. We want the kids to be actively involved in story time just like any other child would be. One way we do this by using books with repeating phrases. We record the repeating phrase on a Big Mac, and then the kids are able to participate and read with us! We've been having so much fun with story time since we introduced this. We usually do the same book for a week. This gives everyone a chance to hear the book numerous times. For young children the repetitive phrases are also an important predicting skill. We always want to encourage the children to vocalize the line and to do that they need to hear it a lot.
Here's a couple of our favorite repeating phrase books that we have used through out our themes!

Peek-a-who? by Nina Laden
