Let's take a quick look at how visual literacy works in children's picturebooks by analyzing a few texts below. Watch one (or more) of the videos to see how the printed words are transformed once they are communicated within the context of the picturebook. Before the pictures appear, try to envision the action of the story in your head. Then, consider how the pictures from the storybook impacted your vision and understanding of the story.
