In Team Koru, picture books play a vital role in developing early literacy skills. They help new entrants build vocabulary, understand story structure, and strengthen comprehension through engaging illustrations. Picture books also spark creativity, encourage a love of reading, and make learning fun. At Glen Taylor School, we celebrate the magic of picture books as an essential step toward literacy and imagination!

Our learners love sharing picture books with each other, reading aloud to each other, George the ‘class monkey’, and even enjoying stories alongside Alan, the school dog. These moments help build confidence, foster friendships, and make reading a joyful experience for everyone!
