Our favorite wordless picture books, via Reading Rockets website, Oct. 22, 2019 (Sharing wordless books is a terrific way to build important literacy skills, including listening skills, vocabulary, comprehension and an increased awareness of how stories are structured. And children love them--they can really pore over the pictures and create their own story in their own words. Wordless books can also be used in ELL classrooms and with struggling readers.)
