Both picture books I am focussing on
in this entry would lend themselves very well to Shared and Guided Reading
activities.
The first is Shutting the Chooks In by Libby Gleeson and Ann James. I really enjoyed the way that verb groups, and
the degree of threat inferred via the illustrations, have been used to great
effect to build suspense and then a sense of sanctuary.
A class would certainly enjoy the
bright illustrations, vivid adjectives and sing-song nursery rhyme structure
and rhythm found in Isabella’s Garden
by Glenda Millard and Rebecca Cool. It could also provide an easy-to- follow
template for students’ own compositions or be used for Reader’s Theatre.
