Using Picture Books as Mentor Texts for Curriculum
Thursday February 19, 2026 1:00pm - 2:00pm MST
RDP Room 1600 @ 100 College Blvd, Red Deer, AB T4N 5H5
Learn more about how we use picture books to introduce new units, deepen our knowledge, and anchor our hands-on work.

We will share how we find books, when we read them, and our process of the interactive read-aloud. We will share more about the language our students use in our grand conversations.
