Good Morning and Good Night Books

This booklist uses stories, rhymes, and repetition to show the different tasks children do to start and end their day.  Through talking and reading, children learn different sounds and words.  Reading enables children to understand that printed words stand for spoken words, as well as, learn how a book works.

When you read together, talk with your child and ask questions about some of the book subjects.  For example, ask your child 'What happens in the morning when you wake up?' or talk about some of the tasks you share at night such as bathtime or storytime.  Conversation between you and your child is one of the best ways to help him or her learn new information and words.
