false 4852019 1 In <i>The Power of Pictures</i> book and companion DVD, Beth Olshansky introduces teachers to her innovative art-based approach to literacy instruction. Widely practiced in classrooms across the country, the model has been proven by research to improve literacy achievement with a wide range of learners, especially those who struggle with verbal skills. At the heart of her approach is the Artists/Writers Workshop. Through study of quality picture books and hands-on art experiences, students learn to visualize, “paint pictures with words,” and ultimately create their own extraordinary artistic and literary work. The book and DVD explain how any teacher can successfully use this process to enable all students, particularly low performers, to make dramatic gains in both reading and writing. 4917288 18 4 2008 The Power of Pictures: Creating Pathways to Literacy through Art, Grades K-6 (Jossey-Bass Teacher) total:3|5:1|4:1|3:0|2:0|1:0| 3 13 3 1 4 0 false false Sun Oct 25 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 25 10:27:08 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 25 10:32:20 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Apr 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Nov 08 20:24:33 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 08 20:24:49 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sat Aug 29 03:54:21 -0700 2009 Wed Dec 31 06:57:33 -0800 2008 Sat Aug 29 03:54:21 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=4852019
