Picture Books

I love picture books and think we leave pictures behind so quickly when we “level up” in our reading.

Who doesnt love the thrill of opening a book to find a beautiful and detailed map?

Who doesnt love fun end papers or *sighs* sprayed edges?

Jump in to some of my favourite picture books with this powerpoint and if you want to look at any or add in your own favourites just get in touch because these types of books are best shared!

#BeKind

It’s OK to take some time out to take care of yourself. All work and no play is not healthy.

Grab a cuppa and a biccy and see if any of these books might just be the kind of thing you need right now.

Let me know if there are any other titles you would like to see on the powerpoint or if you would like me to keep any titles aside for when we get back.

Nat 5 History

Reading around a topic can be a really useful aid to remembering key events – personalising what you have been studying.

If you are studing History at National 5 level or just like some of the subjects covered – this powerpoint might be of use to you.

Please note that some of the titles include mature content reflecting the subject matter and time periods studied.

Let me know how you get on and if there are any other books you think should be added.

Reading for World War 2

WW2

If you are studying World War 2 or even if you are simply interested in the time period. Why not have a look at this power point? There are lots of resources out there and it can often be hard to find good ones. I have included some of the best available from the library.

 

Do you have a favourite book, graphic novel or even moie that you think should be included? Let me know and I will add it in.

Historical fiction is one of my favourite genres, often dealing with very difficult issues, it can get you into the mindset of another place and time and develop empathy and understanding.

Take care,
