FAQ: My child is having difficulties learning to read. Can picture books help?
Yes, picture books are great for children - of all ages - who are still learning to read or having some difficulties mastering the skill. Picture books have a low overall word count of between 500 to 1000 words, spread over 26-32 pages. This makes it possible for even beginners to work their way through the entire book in one sitting, which great for boosting their confidence in reading. Willow the Wonderer picture books are especially helpful for learning to read as they are written in rhyme. This teaches young children a critical skills in reading - phonics, the sounds combination of letters make. The illustrations in picture books also help children step away from the difficult task of deciphering alphabets and sounds to appreciating something that comes naturally to all humans - Art. Illustrations aid not only with comprehension but can also help kids guess unfamiliar words. This again, is great for boosting their confidence as readers. Willow the Wonderer's stories, especially Books 3, 4 and 5, will also appeal to older kids (say 8+ years); a lot of the themes dealt in those books will resonate with their early experience of life.
