Learn How to Describe Pictures in Picture Books
By Alicia Waters | May 1, 2015
Check out the video on Great Expectations which “brings popular picture books to life for blind children using a multi-sensory approach — songs, tactile play, picture descriptions, body movement, engaged listening — all designed to promote active reading experiences for children with visual impairments. Learn how to describe a picture in a book, how to explore a book’s visual concepts, how to play and have fun telling ‘the whole story.’ Children will learn to listen carefully to words, feelings (voice), actions, scene, plots, and character development—elements that they would otherwise miss by not seeing the pictures.”
