The Power of Pictures
Pictures can tell a story. When your preschooler draws pictures, ask her what is happening. Let her narrate. You can write the description on the picture. Perhaps she will want to draw multiple pictures to illustrate an event she enjoyed or weave a made-up tale. In school, as she begins to learn to write, her very first stories will be told in drawings. You are showing her the power of her words through pictures.

I Love this post. I love pictures and I love my daughters pictures. I actually have her works of art framed and hanging in the kitchen. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteMy four year old amazes me with the details he comes up with when telling stories about his pictures. Found you on Monday Mingle! :) Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHi, Madeline. It appears that we have a heck of a lot in common. I have been Literacy/Reading teacher for over ten years. I love literature and I enjoy instilling a love of literature in my children and in my students. I am following you from Monday Mingle and look forward to getting to know you.
