It is with sincere gratitude and warm regard that this title is dedicated to the late illustrator, James Field.
James's mastery complements the Flitlit concept?narrative by means of inspirational artwork that inspires visual thinking.
Illustrated picture books allow readers to analyze stories through visual learning and juxtaposition, thus increasing understanding and comprehension.
AGE-APPROPRIATE ILLUSTRATIONS
Research undertaken highlighted a need for materials that address issues associated with an immediate leap from picture books to early chapter novels.
Carefully chosen illustrations are desired for certain groups at this intermediate level. This need is especially pertinent to the considerable numbers of young readers identified as visual learners, of whom there may be up to 60% in a classroom.
Highly visual books for such groups call for superior illustrations that are age-appropriate and which maximize visual perception.
JUXTAPOSITION
Placing two elements or texts side by side allows readers to compare and contrast them. This act can show, for example: irony, humor, or sadness.
Juxtapositions often create a tricky situation or comparison for the reader. They offer good opportunities to explore language choice, intent, and character response/s.
Challenging readers to explore a juxtaposition requires high level skills to fully explain why this paradox has been created and what tools the author used to create this atmosphere.
Reading materials that are interwoven and that lead to a juxtaposition provide many opportunities to discuss various interpretations of a story.
Using such texts calls for teachers and home tutors to have a working knowledge of both the written narratives and the images. This knowledge plays a key role in planning engaging and purposeful literacy learning.
