hat are
predictable books and why are they important? Text predictable books are
characterized by structured patterns that allow the reader to anticpate
upcoming events in the story. Usually these books have repetitive lines,
plots, refrains, rhythms or phrases. They also contain supportive pictures
that help tell the story. ( For ideas on how to adapt story illustrations
click on story boxes) Here is a short list of predictable,
early literature. I hope you enjoy these books as much as I do.
