The book contains "familiar sequences" or patterns when referencing days of the week and numbers. [32] These patterns help young readers read naturally and reflect their own personal knowledge about the world. [32] Furthermore, these patterns encourage word recognition strategies while reading, rather than beforehand. [32] Therefore, predictability helps establish understanding within context. [32] This book includes educational themes such as counting, the days of the week, foods, and a butterfly's life stages. However, the book does not appear as didactic; rather, it presents information discreetly without children realizing it. [1] It has been used by elementary school teachers, librarians, and parents as a teaching aid, with activities developed which use the book. [29] [30] Furthermore, the pictures allow for understanding without reading. [31] Predictability [ edit ]a b "The Very Hungry Caterpillar Pop-Up Book - Eric Carle - Penguin Group (USA)".

The book's predictability also allows for Oral Cloze exercises, exercises where an adult reader can omit a day of the week or number and the child can insert it. [33] These exercises help children gain confidence in predicting language and enforcing pre-existing knowledge. [33] Common Core [ edit ] a b c Neal, Judith C., and Moore, Kay.
