When I was younger, reading was a huge hobby of mine. Up until today, picture books are something that I enjoy and have a large collection of.
More than actually reading the words in picture books, my favorite thing to do was look at the pictures and make up my own story. I had read my entire library of books so many times and I had to keep myself entertained somehow! I think this was a big part of helping my imagination and creativity grow because you can look at a picture and come up with a million different ways to explain it.
Also, reading pictures books as a child who is just starting reading can be extremely helpful. It helps the child to link the pictures to the words and certainly does increase their literacy level! It is helpful to use context clues and pictures for them to figure out the words!
