Wordless picture books- You’ve heard about them, you’ve seen them, you’ve even attempted to use them but when it comes down to it you…
Simply don’t know how to use them
Have no clue where to find good ones
Have trouble getting people to see the benefits
Use them (and love them), but aren’t sure how to use them to their full potential
Wordless picture books are essential to include in a literacy plan for children (and you know this), but when it comes to using them you are…
Confused because you don’t know where to begin
Frustrated because you just can’t seem to find them (and honestly don’t want to hunt them down!)
Insecure because you know the benefits, but don’t always feel confident explaining it
Limited because you know how transformative WPB can be, but you want to use them more strategically for better results and need a guide to show you how
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING…
“This presentation was a balance of solid evidenced based teaching practice paired with multi-sensory ideas and resources to use in the classroom with students from 5 to 12 years old. I am worried about my bank account balance with all the wonderful suggestions for books that need to be part of my teaching library! I discovered Hanna when I attended a training session for Lively Letters years ago and have been an ardent fan and follower ever since. Thank you Hanna.”
