Picturebook Pedagogy
Locating Literature at the Centre of Practice
We need to locate high quality children's literature at the heart of our primary practice - and the perfect way to do this, is by prioritising picturebooks!
​
Picturebook Pedagogy has been designed to offer manageable and accessible professional development for teachers. Picturebooks offer a wealth of opportunities for the development of a classroom culture and community of readers, all while affording the powerful potential to contextualise and integrate many of the outcomes and objectives of the primary curriculum.
​
Let's harness the power of picturebooks and watch the learning unfold!
