How picture books support pre-literate children's responses during post-reading discussions

MS Ed: Teaching Literacy

In order to foster a love for reading, children must be able to comprehend the stories they are reading. Picture books are important in the lives of pre-literate children's beginning reading. The illustrations in picture books allow readers to interact with the texts and have a meaningful experience with literature. Understanding the relationship between picture book illustrations and reading comprehension, educators may enhance their students' reading comprehension to an ever greater extent. The goal of this study is to investigate how picture books support the extent of pre-literate children's responses during post-reading discussions.
