We use picture books as mentor texts to model exquisite writing and techniques, in reading to show examples of what we are teaching (main idea, understanding characters, etc.) and in content areas like social studies and science to show examples of our content (such as When Gogo Went to Vote and other books that deal with issues that help us explain our content). Short, quirky, fun picture books definitely have their place, but I wish publishers would give equal weight to picture books that we need in the educational market. karastewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17689384820233898083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4355384921028593826.post-11990305149827543852015-07-08T08:33:12.442-04:002015-07-08T08:33:12.442-04:00Love that quote.
