EXTRAORDINARY CHILDREN'S BOOKS: WORDLESS PICTURE BOOKS (2.5 PDHs)
Discover 30 wordless masterpieces in this online course.
A STORY BOOK without sentences seems to be a strange idea. One might initially perceive of these books as a bit of effort to understand. Yet these artistic, wordless masterpieces are a powerful tool in the development of language and literacy.
Through the illustrations, children follow the plot, the rise in conflict, and the resolution. They “read” the images and interpret the emotions of the characters. In this way, wordless picture books are universal; they can be read by children and adults. They can be read by people of all languages. They build relationships between children as they develop the story together. Their pictures are open to interpretation and every person reads a wordless picture book in their own way.
Wordless picture books are excellent for non-readers, dual language readers, and especially struggling readers. The story is in the power of the observer. They don’t need to worry about words or sentence structure, just get lost in the world created through the illustrations.
Reading a book has always more than just stringing letters together; it is about taking us into the imaginary, to another place and time.
This course includes a review of 30 wordless publications and offers documentation on extending the learning through classroom projects.

It was helpful to have the "wrap up" at the end to bring home the points of the videos. Thank you. I gained more knowledge from this course. I would like to learn more. I do own a digital copy of the 100 Languages of Children, older edition, but it is pretty dry and I am not a textbook learner. I am a visual/doer learner. Reggio learner one might say. :)”
