I enjoyed reading the articles by Cassady and Reese on using wordless picture books to teach writing and reading.  It was stated that “virtually every objective in the language arts curriculum at every grade level can be developed and enhanced through the use of wordless books.”  Through the use of wordless books, students can develop a sense of story, learn to use higher order thinking skills, and practice various writing skills.  I look forward to using wordless picture books as a springboard for writing activities.
