教育目標

Visual texts are the types of books that children will be exposed to first before they even learn how to read. Understanding how visual texts work and how children become literate through them are important subjects to explore. However, the visual form is not only aimed at the very young, a growing number of experimental picture books imply a much older audience than is usually associated with picture books. This course aims to introduce students to various aspects of visual texts aimed at children, especially picture books. Students will learn to approach picture books critically and at the same time strengthen their skills in reading, analyzing, and discussing picture books. This course also aims to introduce students to different kinds of picture books, including those for the very young and those for more mature readers. The course will cover books of early childhood (such as Mother Goose books, alphabet books, etc.), wordless picture books, books as toys, classic picture books, illustrator studies and so on.

An important and ambitious goal of this class is that students will enjoy reading picture books as well as learn to understand themselves and the world around them better. Reading is delightful and over the course of this semester we will hopefully come to form a community
