Picture books
Read, look and tell a story

Programme
A cover tells a story before the book is even opened. The group looks together at the title, the images and the story, then gets to work themselves.

Exploring the book
What do the front cover and title tell us?
-
Reading and discussion
The group looks at or reads the book and talks about the content.

Personal interpretation
A drawing or worksheet helps children work through the story. Older groups can create their own picture book.
The teacher adapts reading, viewing and follow-up activities to suit the age group.
