These books have wonderful illustrations as well as storylines. We are also finding out how pictures can help with unfamiliar words in a story.   All reading is good for vocabulary building, correct sentence structure, context clues and enjoyment.  We are looking forward to some holiday books and activities in October.

We have been learning about the different kinds of books that are available in our SAES library.  We now know that fiction and nonfiction books are kept in different places and we are practicing using our book buddies to help keep the shelves in order.  Chapter books are also available, but we are very lucky to have so many picture books in our library bins.]]> 2017-09-29 03:14:32 UTC https://padlet.com/gdavies14/post2/wish/192321477 gdavies14 https://padlet.com/gdavies14/post2/wish/192321557 Graphic novels]]> 2017-09-29 03:15:28 UTC https://padlet.com/gdavies14/post2/wish/192321557 gdavies14 https://padlet.com/gdavies14/post2/wish/192321697 I know!]]> 2017-09-29 03:16:50 UTC https://padlet.com/gdavies14/post2/wish/192321697 gdavies14 https://padlet.com/gdavies14/post2/wish/192321826 Getting cozy with the stuffies]]> 2017-09-29 03:18:11 UTC https://padlet.com/gdavies14/post2/wish/192321826 gdavies14 https://padlet.com/gdavies14/post2/wish/192321976 Bean bags and books]]> 2017-09-29 03:19:40 UTC https://padlet.com/gdavies14/post2/wish/192321976 gdavies14 https://padlet.com/gdavies14/post2/wish/192322042 Prime real estate in the library]]> 2017-09-29 03:20:37 UTC https://padlet.com/gdavies14/post2/wish/192322042 gdavies14 https://padlet.com/gdavies14/post2/wish/192322165 The joy of reading]]> 2017-09-29 03:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/gdavies14/post2/wish/192322165 gdavies14 https://padlet.com/gdavies14/post2/wish/192322266 Decisions, decisions...]]> 2017-09-29 03:23:00 UTC https://padlet.com/gdavies14/post2/wish/192322266 gdavies14 https://padlet.com/gdavies14/post2/wish/192322500 Busy readers]]> 2017-09-29 03:25:36 UTC https://padlet.com/gdavies14/post2/wish/192322500 gdavies14 https://padlet.com/gdavies14/post2/wish/192323194 If I was a book, I would like to be a library book, so I would be taken home by all different sorts of kids.

Libraries allow children to ask questions about the world and find the answers. And the wonderful thing is that once a child learns to use a library, the doors to learning are always open.
