Imagine a special story each day with relatable characters, a connection to learning or a valuable life lesson. Reading a picture book a day provides students with exposure to literary elements such as figurative language, science concepts, growth mindset lessons, and sometimes just a good funny story. A wide selection of picture books will give daily exposure to nonfiction stories about scientists or other influential people. One example of a nonfiction book that will have a positive impact on my students is The Girl Who Thought in Pictures, the story of Dr. Temple Grandin, a girl with Autism who grew up to overcome her challenges, graduate from college and become a public speaker. Stories like this help students learn to support and relate to peers with similar challenges, and to learn that they, too, can overcome their challenges. Some books help students to understand science or social studies concepts. The Most Magnificent Thing teaches about the trial and error scientists experience when trying to solve a problem. You Wouldn't Want to Be at the Boston Tea Party! gives students an animated view of an important event in our country's history. Finally, Rosie Revere, Engineer allows girls to see themselves as scientists who impact the world! Fiction picture books that teach about subjects like kindness leave messages that resonate with students throughout their day. If You Plant a Seed and The Invisible Boy are excellent examples of this! Other books provide mentor text for students to see examples of figurative language, theme and alliteration. Every book gives a unique experience to the listener! Even fifth grade students look forward to the featured book each day!
