What important activity does reading a picture book encourage?
Picture books encourage conversations between young and older readers. While some children enjoy reading picture books on their own, it's often the case that an adult or older sibling reads to a younger child. Reading a picture book aloud prompts conversations about what's happening in the story, what the characters are feeling, meanings of words, how what's happening might relate to the child.
InkyGirl »Do you want to view some online resources to write your own picture book?
Experiencing success and enjoyment with writing is something we all want for our youngsters. The computer can be a great encourager to start children writing. Here are some websites where you and your kids can make digital books, with links to more information about them. I always advise adult supervision when children use the Internet. Apart from safety concerns, our kids can learn such a lot from carrying out these activities with us.
Scholastic »Hey kids, are you ready to write and draw a book, the old fashioned way, in under an hour?
Put down your camera phone and log out of YouTube for a little while.

My Kids Adventures »The drawing prompts in the "DRAW" tab above, are designed to inspire kids to draw on paper, rather than on electronic devices. Drawing is fun, and the activity provides the practice needed to build important life skills such as their self-esteem, self-expression, motor skills, problem solving and much more.
We focus the daily challenge on things that are already being celebrated in the world, so the topics are relevant and the learning, meaningful. A parent's role in our program is simply to give the kids the time to do the activity, and to follow the prompts on the "LEARN" tab above to share information about the topic with the child.
Knowledge is power and drawing is fun.
