Wordless Picture Books

Scholastic blog post by Amy Mascott

We all know the saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words," so just imagine how many great conversations your family can have when you enjoy a whole (wordless) picture book picture book at home!  Reading specialist and literacy consultant Amy Mascott, in her blog post for Scholastic, praised the benefits of wordless picture books.  "Wordless picture books allow the reader (or viewer) to create their own story using the illustrations provided.  They allow for thought, creativity, and interpretation.  They allow for adaptation."  Check out the rest of her post, Must-Reads for Older Kids (Wordless Books), on Scholastics website to learn specific ways wordless picture books can booster your reader's skills...and how you can have fun with them as a whole family!  (Link located to the left)
