Picture Book Conversations using the Whole Book Approach to Storytime

Authors: Courtney Waring, Director of Education at The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art

Discover the difference between reading to children and reading with children. This session will delve into how picture books can expand young children’s perspectives and enrich their understanding of the world using the “Whole Book Approach,” developed by former Carle educator Megan Dowd Lambert. Discover how the Whole Book Approach to storytime encourages young children to ask questions, share their stories, and build their observation and critical-thinking skills. Learn how the intersection of words and pictures fosters cross-cultural understanding and deepens our appreciation for art in all its forms.
