Abstract
Storytelling is most often associated with words. But what happens when you take the words away and are left with just the pictures? No longer is there a hierarchy of reader vs. listener. Suddenly, you have opened a world of possibilities based on the “readers” experiences, perceptions, and ideas. People of all ages, reading abilities, languages, and experiences can enjoy the benefits of “reading” a wordless book! Join us as we present tips on “reading” a wordless book, the sciences behind the benefits, hands-on projects to enhance the experience, and ways to incorporate all ages into the story. Pictures alone really can change the world!
