The Read Aloud Classroom

27. Picture Books to Teach Point of View

β€’ Sara Soucy | Picture Book Enthusiast | Elementary Teacher β€’ Season 1 β€’ Episode 27

You know that moment when you're trying to explain point of view to your students and they stare back at you like you're speaking another language? We've all been there! Teaching this concept can feel tricky, but the right picture books make all the difference. In this special bonus episode, I'm sharing 10 amazing mentor texts that transform point of view from confusing to "aha!" - including books that will have even your most wiggly students completely engaged in discussions about perspective.

This is the first in my new summer series of Thursday bonus episodes, where I'll be sharing 10 carefully selected books for specific teaching topics across the curriculum. From classics like "The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs" to hidden gems like "Voices in the Park," each book comes with a quick overview and simple activity ideas you can use right away. Consider this your personal picture book shopping guide that saves you hours of searching! All book titles, links, and cover images will be available on my website at thecolorfulapple.com.
