Q—Quiz books, cards, and machines
Many texts ask questions or offer brainteasers that children love to solve, such as “What number do you get when you add your ears and your eyes?” (Klutz 2001). Melanie Walsh’s Do Monkeys Tweet? asks silly questions children love to answer! Quiz cards and electronic quiz machines often ask preschoolers trivia or world knowledge questions. If your child enjoys being quizzed, include items like these in his reading material, though be sure he answers enough questions correctly to feel good about the experience.
