Books That Facilitate Narrative Retelling And Summarizing
These are books with simple themes and repetitive language that makes it easy for children to retell and summarize the stories they read and hear. By retelling and summarizing, they can extract important ideas from what they have read, while coming to understand the text more deeply.
