A warm welcome

And so, with housekeeping activities out of the way, a warm welcome to our course!

Our first week is divided into the following core activities:

• 1) What is a picturebook?

Where we get to grips with definitions…

• 2) Word and Picture Relationships

In picturebooks, words and pictures love each other very much. Or not… We look at the various kinds of interaction between text and image.

• 3) Picturebooks and Literacy

Finally, we discuss three types of picturebooks – baby books, postmodern picturebooks, and picturebook apps – and try to work out which kinds of literacy they encourage and cultivate in children.

Let’s get started and find out more about who is learning with us!
