We've been studying wordless picture books for the last month or so in kindergarten through 2nd grade. The kids absolutely love having to "read" the pictures and figure out what is happening in the story. This week, we will vote for which book was our favorite.
We've read some great books including:
Flotsam, by David Weisner
Owly & Wormy, by Andy Runton
One Scary Night, by Antoine Guilloppe
Chalk, by Bill Thomson
A Ball for Daisy, by Chris Rashka
The Lion & the Mouse, by Jerry Pinkney
Where's Walrus?, by Stephen Savage
Chicken and Cat Clean Up, by Sara Varon
Bow-Wow Bugs a Bug, by Mark Newgarden
Beaver is Lost, by Elisha Cooper
The Last Laugh, by Arianne Dewey
Here is our first grade telling of Owly & Wormy: Friends All Aflutter using Voicethread:
To close out in 2nd grade, we read some Owly & Wormy shorts and wrote what was happening beneath. We hung those as a display in the hallway. Then the kids looked at some Garfield comics, and some from Bubba World. Their "reading" isn't perfectly accurate, but some of them are just super cute and some use their most expressive voices and crack me up. Here are some 2nd graders "reading" their comic strips:
Love this!
