I have been looking at books like Good Dog, Carl on the preschool list and wanted to know if there is a certain way that these books are used. Do you just talk about the pictures with your kids, have them make up the story each time you “read” it, or something else?
Does anyone use these books for picture sequencing/visual memory skills?
My kids make up the story. The Carl books are favorites here. We simply “read” aand enjoy, nothing further.
Peter Spier books are great wordless books, too, like rain. We also just look at the pictures details and enjoy.
I LOVE the Peter Spier books! I look at them whenever we go to the library….because (sniff, sniff) my children are all teens….(sniff, sniff).
My younger kids love to tell me the story as it unfolds in the Carl books. I find them delightful (both the books & kids ;)!
I have a wonderful book, “The Mysteries of Harris Burdick” by Chris VanAllsburg, that my sister introduced me to. The backstory is interesting in and of itself. There are 14 pictures with a single caption written by the artist. The rest of the story is left to your imagination. Apparently there is now a book, “The Chronicles of Harris Burdick”, in which some famous authors have spun their own tale about the pictures. E and I have fun looking at the pictures and coming up with a story!
Brinton Turkle & Mercer Mayer also have wordless books that we’ve enjoyed.
I usually “tell” the story when we read it – but we don’t really talk about the pictures. I often ask my kids to tell me the story, too.
My DS has enjoyed a new book called ‘Journey’ by Aaron Becker. It is a 2014 Caldecott Honor book. ‘Goodnight Gorilla’ is another favorite, along with the Carl books.
