I agree that any picture book with great visual support would be appropriate. However, I would like to add to the criteria: Background needed to understand the text matches the students' background or at least background knowledge is build prior to reading and that there be a predictable structure that repeats itself for beginning ELL students. maxine In a message dated 6/24/2009 6:45:30 P.M.

ABC books, animal books, counting books, books about shapes, colors... There is a book called Splash by Ann Jonas about a boy who goes to a small pond in his back yard. The dog falls in, the dog gets out. The cat goes in , there are frogs, turtles, fish, etc. Lots of talk and naming could happen with this book!
