Preschoolers love doing picture walks through their books. A picture walk is browsing through an illustrated book to look and talk about the pictures. To begin, choose familiar board books and revisit them through a picture walk. Focus on the pictures rather than the printed story. Ask your child to tell the story by using the pictures.
Introduce new books by taking the time to look at each page’s illustrations before reading the book. When you do pick the book up again to read, ask your child if the pictures helped tell the story. Picture walks help children visualize and predict story plots. We love doing picture walks to just have fun with books!
Question Collection:
*Are there any clues in the pictures that help you predict what’s going to happen next?
*Do any of the characters look like people you know?
*Which picture books are your favorites?
