Preschoolers need books that teach sequencing like “first, second, and third” or ordering objects from smallest to largest such as size of the beds, chairs, and bears in the story of Goldilocks. Books that repeat information build memory skills, and improve the child’s ability to recall the story components. Look for books with a predictable plot line so that you can ask your preschooler what is coming next in the story and teach thinking skills. The best picture books for preschoolers usually have at least one picture for every page of text. Preschoolers are ready to start learning their alphabet, colors, and numbers, too.
