Wordless Picture Books

Jan 24, 2009 by Annemarie

Wordless picture books can be great tools for teaching organization. The story is already organized in the pictures—the students just provide the words. This activity works better as an oral language activity than as a written one. As students are telling the story, encourage them to tell about the characters, setting, plot, problem, solution, etc. and to use transition words to link ideas and sentences together. Below is a list of a few wordless picture books:

Changes, Changes

Clown

Deep in the Forest

Do You Want to Be My Friend?

Four Hungry Kittens

Good Dog, Carl

Have You Seen My Duckling?

Monkey See, Monkey Do

My Darling Kitten

Trucks, Trucks, Trucks

What’s Up, What’s Down
