Looking at and understanding both words and pictures demands a higher cognitive level than merely seeing that words and pictures are there. The Communication Project has a partnership with the Literacy Volunteers of America to make our literacy resource package widely available. Through our research and workshops across the country, we've developed and tested a resource set that's being used in literacy programs, schools, and universities.
Stories are one of the most powerful forms of human communication.
Our goal is to encourage both verbal and visual literacy. In a picture book, children and adults can explore not only the words and illustrations of the story, but how they are presented, the themes and symbolic meanings, and the way in which the story connects with their own lives. By storybook and Reader's Companion booklet resource set as part of Language Arts curriculums and for school Grandparent Days. By storybook and Reader's Companion booklet resource set are being used in university teacher education courses as part of Language Arts and Children's Literature studies. A nice story for sharing.
