Ep 35 Lesson Planning with Picture Books

Episode Description

When it comes to planning lessons in an early childhood classrooms, picture books are the one resource educators cannot do without. Picture books are not only provocations, they ignite curiosity, stimulate creativity and imagination and are a source for teaching not only literacy skills, but an appreciation and a love for books.

In this episode we unpack how we educators plan learning experiences using picture books to drive planning and learning experiences.

We also discover what the research around the benefits of reading to children says.
