SLAV Conference School Libraries Powering Literacy

 


This online conference will engage with the school library’s important role in literacy development specifically in the area of reading. We will hear from researchers, key commentators, practitioners, and creators, showcasing inspirational ideas and examples of best practice.

Today I spoke at the SLAV Annual Conference on the topic International Picture Books.

Sharing picture books with children leads to amazing conversations. In the best picture books there is a gap between the pictures and the words, a gap that is filled by the child's imagination. Anthony Browne

Bringing illustrations from different cultures into our … classrooms, is important. Children need to see different interpretations of reality, as well as experience a variety of styles and techniques.

Here are the twenty-one books I shared today along with links to my previous blog posts (click the blue link).
