**Big+Books

= = =**Big Books in the Classroom **=  //**Reading is one of the greatest sources of input for learning a new language. (Barnett, 1989)**// Big books typically use predictable texts, allowing readers to use their prior knowledge to identify words that come next in a sentence, as well as rhythm, rhyme, and repetition, all of which aid word recognition and identification.
