Picture Book Extenders

Titles with Picture Book Extenders Available at North Vancouver City Library
updated August 2006

Picture book extenders are an exciting new tool for parents, teachers and readers alike. They allow parents and teachers to integrate picture books more deeply into a child's learning experience. ‘Extenders’ can be used to help improve comprehension, enrich curriculum and as a support for a variety of activities related to the picture book's content.

Each extender provides:

  • Questions and answers that evaluate comprehension, as well as touch on literary elements such as theme, characterization, setting and point of view
  • Vocabulary words from the text with definitions designed especially for younger children
  • Extension activities that can be used in the classroom or with a parent at home
  • A list of titles that offer further exploration of the theme or author
A vast number of picture book extenders are available through NoveList K-8 (access NoveList K-8 from the Library or from outside the Library).
