My students need various rich text and engaging books to hep keep them motivated and to see the fun of reading. Picture books are a great way to engage all readers through the limited text and engaging illustrations. Classic children's authors like Chris Van Allsburg, Tomie dePaola, and Bill Peet have engaged students to read for years. My students do not have access to the school library all year, so I would like to have books that will hold their interests and keep them reading in my classroom all year. I am especially excited to share the stories of Bill Peet with my students. His engaging stories not only inspired me to read but he was an illustrator for classic Disney movies before becoming an author. I know my students will love the familiarity of his illustrations that look similar to some of their favorite Disney movies! Helping students to understand that reading can be fun and can take them anywhere in the world is the ideal way to build life-long readers. Picture books are not only fun and inspiring stories, but they help engage reluctant readers who my be discouraged to read other types of books. Picture books are also an excellent way to practice fluency, reading comprehension, and review reading skills we have been learning in class. My students live in a rural area so access to a library with books is not possible for many of my students. These books will be a wonderful way for my students to be able to take literacy home so they can continue to practice reading at home.
