You might let out a little sigh when the same book comes out again, and again, but hearing the same words being read helps your child learn as they can better understand word meanings and how to use them in context. It’s typical for children to enjoy books that have repetitive and familiar phrases as they are easier for them to remember, and it’s quite fun for them to chant along with you as you read! 

Why repetition in stories is good... 

Children learn more effectively when they hear the same books read again and over. Hearing the same words again and over helps them comprehend the meaning of the words and to use them in context. The text is familiar, which gives your child the confidence to read on his or her own. The use of repeated words helps your child to directly participate in the reading experience, which boosts their confidence and makes story time more fun. When your child feels at ease with a repeating narrative and can participate, this will help lay the foundation for future literacy skills.
