Picture
books for young readers are building blocks that promote literacy, vocabulary
skills, sentence structure and story analysis.
For
young readers, picture books are an important part of learning how to read.
Usually this type of format marks the first step in introducing a child to
reading and is often the start of language development for many children.
Libraries that include picture books to promote literacy to young readers are
boosting beginner-level vocabulary skills, introducing sentence structure and
developing story analysis.
November
is National Picture Book Month in the U.S. Check out the following important
benefits of picture books to encourage teachers and parents to use picture
books to instill successful reading skills.
Building
Language Skills – When reading through picture books during story time, at home
or in the classroom, children can practice sounding out the language while
adults introduce and explain new and interesting words.

Visual Thinking - Illustrations in a picture book help children understand what
they are reading, allowing new readers to analyze the story.
