Founder/Head of School The Grayson School, Pennsylvania
When we think of gifted literature, we often think of advanced texts with high Lexile levels, but being a good reader should be about more than comprehending complex vocabulary. Learn how wordless picture books promote higher-level thinking skills, even in upper elementary students. See how students interpret stories through images and exercise normally-unflexed mental muscles.
Learning Objectives:
Identify qualities of wordless books and picture books that support literary development and critical thinking
Use wordless books and picture books to support conceptual understanding and the development of inter- and intra-personal skills
Use instructional strategies that promote critical thinking when engaging with wordless texts
