Students also learn about plot, improve their comprehension and vocabulary, and discover nonfiction elements within the stories. For my students who find reading challenging, the visuals in these lower-level picture books are incredibly helpful in enhancing their understanding and boosting their motivation through engaging, hands-on lessons.\r\n\r\nYour contribution will significantly enrich our learning environment by providing access to a wider variety of texts that cater to diverse reading levels and interests.
