Books.
Books. More books. I love books—all kinds of books and when I started using a
document camera to share my favorites, a huge weight was lifted from my
nervous telepractioner
shoulders. Once again, I had the ability to share a book, using my voice,
stopping when I thought it made sense, and thinking aloud to facilitate
comprehension strategies in response to the child. And here is the amazing
part, I had the ability to zoom in and zoom out on parts of illustrations, words,
and sentences. That power to show parts while hiding others is a useful tool for
facilitating inferential thinking, questioning, and synthesizing. Bring on the
delicious wordless picture books! The wordless book used in the video clip
below is The Red Book by
Barbara Lehman.
