“A wordless book offers a different kind of an experience from one with text, for both the author and
the reader. There is no author’s voice telling the story. Each viewer reads the book in his or her own way. To
know that my own pictures may be inspiring imaginations with the same wonder I felt as a child is a very satisfying feeling.”
David Wiesner’s 1992 Caldecott Medal Acceptance Speech for his book Tuesday
- This will be a fun and exciting unit! We will include the wordless
books not only in reading and writing, but in science, social studies, and even math...
- In the next two weeks students are to choose 6 wordless picture books.
In your writing journal, draft a story line idea for each of those books. See assignments for more
details.
