๐๐ฆ Picture books arenโt just for little ones!๐ฆ๐
Did you know that picture books can be absolutely brilliant for children of all ages?
For younger children, they help develop vocabulary, listening skills, imagination and a love of stories.
For older children, picture books are just as valuable! They can spark wonderful discussions, develop inference skills, explore emotions and inspire some fabulous writing. The illustrations provide clues, encourage children to look more closely and help them read between the lines.
โจ Sometimes, the simplest stories lead to the biggest learning opportunities!
Donโt put those picture books away just because your child is getting older. Share a story and see where the conversation takes you!
My recommendation is Voices in the Park by Anthony Browne. I use this book with children of various ages because of the multi- layered approach it uses. In typical Anthony Browne style, the illustrations are fantastic and are a great point for discussion. Highly recommended! ๐ฆ๐
