Reading Picture Books With Children
By choosing to use picture books at home and in the classroom, parents, caregivers and teachers have the privilege and pleasure of introducing a thoroughly enjoyable and magical route to learning.
Picture books may be used in many ways and in every area of the curriculum, to meet a variety of goals and introduce a wide range of subjects and themes.
As caregivers and teachers, we are only limited in our use of these books by our imagination and the willingness of children to explore situations and worlds both familiar and new.
In this course, Daphne Lee will introduce participants to picture books, ways of turning children on to their magic, as well as how to avoid turning them off.
The course will include practical sessions on how to select books (picture books and others); how to read effectively both in one-on-one and group situations; how to link other activities to your chosen book; and how to conduct a literature circle for young children.
This workshop is suitable for early childhood educators, professional caregivers, volunteers, parents and just about anyone who wishes to share the magic of reading with children.
