What Happens Next?
For children ages 2 to 6
Books with words or actions that appear over and over help your child to predict or tell what happens next. These are called “predictable” books. Your child will love to figure out the story in a predictable book!
What You Need
Predictable books with repeated words, phrases, questions, or rhymes (For suggested titles, see Resources for Children, page 51.)
What to Do
The first activities in the list below work well with younger children. As your child grows older, the later activities let him do more. But keep doing the first ones as long as he enjoys them.
Wolf Voice: Little pig, little pig, let me come in.
Little Pig: Not by the hair on my chinny-chin-chin!
Wolf Voice: Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in!
Your child will learn the repeated phrase and have fun joining in with you each time it shows up in the story. Pretty soon, he will join in before you tell him.
