Why Are Picture Books Important?
The importance of picture books has so many beneficial attributes for a child to embrace at an early age.
Picture books for me as a child were always the gateway for me to dream and imagine that roller coaster ride filled with fun and excitement.
I can remember having my first picture book in my hand. It became my first interactions with imaginary characters. No matter how bored that I was being at school or at home, reading picture books gave my magical world a purpose to read more on a daily basis.
Picture Books Introduces Word Concepts Of Reading To Children
Story books with pictures helped me to learn how to read faster. My eyes became a target for any children book that I read first on my own. I would first look at the pictures in any book to imagine what the story or plot was all about in magical world.
Then, I would go back to story on the page to make an attempt to read the text just to see if I was close enough to truth of what I just read in accordance on the same page.
This how some kids learn how to read via words and languages. Any words that I did not know, my parents would show me how to look up words in a dictionary to find the answer to my word detective mind.
Reading became my escape goat to reduce my lack of boredom at home. That’s right young folks! Back in my day, we did not have Xbox or Playstations. All we had was our creativity, imagination, and books. LOL
Picture Books Are Great Conductors For Conversations
Even though I enjoyed reading picture books on my own, I really enjoyed it better when mother read to me. She would explain to me what the characters in the story were feeling. This helped me out tremendously.
I was able to visualize story plots in my head regarding what was about to happen next in the story, meaning of new words that explained the character’s emotions, and how I could relate to what was going on all at once. I would have to say that it made me feel closer to mom because she made things magical and reading fun.
Conversations between young and adult readers are encouraged by picture books. While some youngsters love reading picture books on their own, my parents were my theatrical stage during the day or at night.
Reading aloud a picture book sparked discussions between my parents and I about what’s going on in the story, how the characters are feeling, word meanings, and how I interpret what is going on as it relates to me.
The importance of picture books being read to me by my parents gave me joy and excitement in my life as a kid.
Now you know why picture books in general are very important in the development of children’s minds. These books will always turn attentive listeners into readers. I can contest to this revelation because my parents read to me every day.
Even in my adult life, the joys of reading books made me an author of my own children’s book , “BENZO”. Here is a snippet of what my children’s book is about listed below. Yes, this is a shameless plug moment. LOL
