SuitabookDinosaurs in the summer
Joyce Jeffries
- Reading
- Read the words alongside the illustrations. Pause to name actions, objects and places, then invite the child to match picture details with words and talk about a favourite activity.
- Themes
- Play and shared enjoyment: Dinosaurs are shown playing games, travelling, visiting the beach, making sand castles and riding a Ferris wheel. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Pictures supporting early reading: Colourful illustrations are described as closely matching the text and helping readers with comprehension. The visual-text relationship is presented as a means of supporting understanding and early literacy, rather than as a story theme.
- Worth knowing
- Previewing it can clarify the reading balance.
