O'Neil, Kathleen Ellen – Reading Teacher, 2011
Picturebooks tell stories in both words and pictures. Interacting with the printed word, the technical elements of illustration--color, line, shape and composition--work to establish and enhance the story. Sometimes simply by adding description of characters and setting, and, at times, by challenging the veracity of the text with ironic or…

Early encounters with environmental print, words, and other graphic symbols found in children's surroundings are among their first concrete exposures to written language.

In this…
