Pre-K children read stories with teachers and by themselves. A very favorite this spring has been ABIYOYO a storysong by Pete Seeger. The tale of how a father with his magic wand and a boy with his music triumph over the giant Abiyoyo is based on a South African lullaby and folk story. It is good for them to read and re-read many times as it helps them retain and be able to read/tell the story themselves. I have multiple copies of this story and they like to follow along themselves and/or with a partner.
