### Recites whole phrases from favorite stories

Situations for Observation of Skill

Observe the adult and child reading familiar books together.

Elicitation Strategy

The adult starts reading a familiar page and lets the child finish reciting the text. (For example, “What’s next?”)

Behavior Observed

The child remembers key words, phrases, and whole lines from familiar books.

Routines-based Intervention (Embedded Instruction)

As the child becomes more familiar with a book, early childhood educators and parents should involve the child in the reading. Rhyming and predictable books or simple storybooks are easier to remember. Many adults read straight through a text to the end without letting the child help. Help adults understand the importance of the child participating in reading and discussing each page.
