My response is:
Ohhhh, remember, when I am reading this to NOT TELL ANY of the secrets. We don't
want to spoil the story for anyone else.
I usually get a knowing smile and giggle because I have acknowledged that they are
"in on the secrets" of the story. Then I continue to share the story. But since I
am usually doing something more than just reading, all students are part of the
thinking I want them to do.

Subject: Re: Elem: Kindergarteners who've heard a story before
I also like the suggestions mentioned in this thread and will just add
on.
When I hear, "I've already heard that book." I say, "Great! Aren't you
glad that there isn't a rule that once you've heard it you can never
hear it again? And...aren't you glad that there isn't a rule that once
you've heard a song you can never hear it again? Or seen a movie, etc."
They start nodding in agreement and I am almost tearful by the time I
get through with my point - so are the kids.
