Reading the same book over and over and over

 

If your child is asking for Goodnight Moon AGAIN, the fifth day in a row, do something to change it up.  Have you noticed that they are helping to read - chiming in when they know what is coming next?  If so, have them read the book to you!  Or take turns reading each two page spread.  Maybe you could change up the story - pick something else in the picture instead of the written word.  Try singing the book (you can sing anything, really!).  Use different voices!  If you can find the element that your child really loves about the book (the rhyme, the mittens) look for books that are similar or maybe have a similar character - a bunny too!  If you need recommendations, ask your local librarian. That's what we are there for!
