  • An Array of Teaching Ideas Using Wordless Picture Books. Raines, Shirley C. Isbell, Rebecca J. Childrens Literature Cognitive Development Elementary Education Picture Books Reading Material Selection Reading Research Teaching Methods The wordless picture book is a valued but underused resource for young children, beginning literacy students, and for proficient readers. A survey of teachers indicated that three problems exist: (1) few wordless picture books are available in library collections; (2) teachers do not know how to select quality wordless books; and (3) few teachers consider the variety of instructional uses for wordless picture books. Solutions to these problems include emphasizing in teaching methods courses the value of wordless picture books, listing guidelines for selecting quality wordless picture books, and describing an array of teaching ideas for use with wordless picture books. (Twenty-three references, the survey instrument used, and a 225-item bibliography of wordless picture books compiled by the Library Media Specialists of the Oklahoma State Department of Education are appended.)
