## 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.
