One way is to read the stories aloud, emphasizing the phonetic sounds in each word. For example, when a letter makes a's' sound, really stretch it out so kids can hear it clearly.
These stories use repetition of phonetic sounds in a natural way. For example, if the focus is on the 'c' sound, many words with that sound will be in the story. This repetition helps children remember the sound better. Also, the illustrations in the big book stories are engaging and can help children associate the words and sounds with the pictures, enhancing their learning experience.
One characteristic is that they focus on phonetic patterns. They often repeat certain letter - sound combinations to help readers remember. For example, a story might have many words with the 'ee' sound like 'bee', 'see', 'tea'. Another characteristic is that they are usually simple in vocabulary at first to gradually introduce new sounds and words.
