‘This stunning book guides readers through storytelling structures, offering classroom activities and encouraging a lifelong love of picture books. An empowering must-own for authors and illustrators, educators and readers. Long live the power of a picture book!’ – Andrea Rowe, award-winning children’s picture book author
A teacher’s dream text! Such a creative way to explore picture books with the added bonus of explicit teacher guides (such as talking points) embedded throughout the text.
Use it as a lesson break – pick a different letter each day and explore how that letter relates to picture books. I loved J for Joy.
Use it as a core resource for your English program. This text will suit the NSW English outcomes for ‘Understanding and Responding to Literature’ (EN3-UARL-01 and EN3-UARL-02) as well as providing young writers with an insight into writing techniques to capture an audience.
The alphabet structure reminded me of another book we chatted about on a previous podcast… My Life as an Alphabet . Click HERE to listen to that podcast.
