Following our blog post last term on ‘Wordless Books – A Picture Tells a Thousand Words’, the Scottish Book Trust have reccommended a list of ten picture books for children aged 8-11.

Wordless Books are a great way of supporting children’s literacy and language development through vocabulary, oral langauge comprehension and narrative skills.

Using these practitioners can:

• develop children’s langauge in context by making comments, describing what they see

• ask developmentally appropriate questions, to support children’s verbal reasoning and abstract thinking

• develop children’s sequence and narrative skills to retell and create texts.
