A Picture Speaks 1000 Words
"Just because a picture book doesn't have words doesn't mean you
can't read it! Wordless (or almost wordless) picture books can still
help prepare children to read and are enjoyable for kids who are
already reading. They get to tell the story in their own words.
Knowing how stories work is a needed skill for learning to read.
What better way to develop that skill than to tell your own?"
