ch 7

Picture books are wonderful. Children and adults enjoy looking at pictures as they read. I think it is a tool to help the children expand their imaginations. I have noticed sometimes the children will look at a picture and want to create their own story of what is happening. This is a great way to get them reading and writing. I say go ahead and read the picture book then let the children make up their own stories to the pictures. let them write their stories and publish it in the classroom.
