Wordless Books

Wordless books are books that contain illustrations but no text, allowing students to use their imagination to create their own stories. These books give students an opportunity to hone their writing skills, which helps them build foundations of language, basic story structure, and an understanding of the relationship between pictures and words. Students at all levels are provided with learning opportunities, from labeling pictures to strengthening their understanding of story and plot.

You may wish to use these books as a comprehension check after students have read the companion book by having students retell with their own words the original story. Or, you can use the primary lesson plan or the intermediate lesson plan to provide further guidance for using the wordless books.
