It's time to start our September disussion topic: Reading Pictures: Visual Literacy Through Picture Books.
We'll discussion two new books the final part of September:
/Little Roja Riding Hood/ illustrated by Susan Guevara; written by Susan Middleton Elya (Putnam, 2014)
/What If...? /illustrated and written by Anthony Browne (U.S. edition: Candlewick Press)
(Schedule to be announced).
But for now, we are interested in hearing about ways of reading pictures in picture books, which can start from the earliest age. As children listen to the lull of a bedtime book or the lilt of a rhyme, they are also and often drawn into the world of pictures. They may encounter books in which the pictures help tell the story, or extend it, or sometimes, slyly, contradict it. Understanding the extraordinary agility of a single line to express mood and feeling, or the ability of art to create an entire world ready to step into, often begins with pictrure books.
What and how to children learn from the visual images in picture book texts? In today's digital world, what do picture books offer when it comes to understanding visual entertainment and information? What books or types of books do you find children visually drawn to?
