Reading stories plays a vital role in the growth and development of learners. It
helps learners develop and hone their knowledge, attitude, values, and skills. Stories are
useful sources of information that allow learners to be imaginative and to explore ideas
beyond what are written on prescribed textbooks (DepEd Memo No.090, s. 2019).
Reading stories with children introduces them to the complex nature of language
and helps them in acquiring important language skills. However, the type of books read
to children contributes to the depth of their learning. Different types of genre books are
associated with different amounts and types of language and each will encourage a
different dialog or conversation with children. One type of storybook is the Picture
Storybook.
Picture Storybooks
Picture books bring tremendous benefits to kids who are in the early stages of
developing their reading skills. Illustrations shown alongside text offer invaluable tools to
help kids build understanding, fluency, vocabulary and other foundational literacy skills.
The imagery in a picture book brings the pages to life, serving as a visual roadmap for
the story.
