This Book Week, sharpen your visual literacy skills with this deep dive into Australian picture books.

Your students can already read the words in picture books but can they ‘read’ the pictures? Find out how to decode the mysteries of visual literacy as we explore beautiful illustrations from Australian picture books.

Suitable for Stage 2 and 3 students (children aged 8-12 years).

This event will be held online via Zoom. You will be sent the link to join the session with your booking confirmation. For help with joining and participating in Zoom Webinars: Joining and participating in Zoom Webinars.
