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
