Growing Literacy with Wordless Picture Books

Read-alouds can help build literacy skills, expand vocabulary, improve comprehension, and introduce the joy of reading for pleasure. Can wordless picture books be used in read-alouds? We asked an expert!

Thanks to Dr. Scheffel for sharing her expertise and to Dr. Lori McKee, Associate Professor in the Department of Curriculum Studies at University of Saskatchewan, for her guidance on this project.
