Read aloud and surround the readings with talk about…
- The people who make books
- Refer to authors and illustrators by name
- Show children pictures of authors and illustrators
- Read author blurbs and dedications
- Reread books over time
- Read multiple books by the same author
- What makes a picture book, a picture book
- It has both words and illustrations.
- The words and illustrations change from page to page while still about the same topic
- It is about something, and the writer decides what this will be
- They have crafted language in them
- Different kinds of books
- Some tell stories
- Some tell about something (list books)
- Different purposes for books
- Some books are fun
- Some books teach you things
- Some books do both
- The decision writers and illustrators make in books
