[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's something to be said about merely reading words or listening to them, and allowing your mind to extrapolate whatever images it desires. :-) That said, my 5 year old reads at second grade level (if those early readers are to be believed) and yet prefers to see pictures, since, as we all know, [b]a picture is worth many words.[/b][/quote] Yes, and with many picture books the pictures are telling another story than the words, or bringing forth something that isn't quite said in the words. It's submersive, and you really need to see the pictures and look at them to see what's happening that is building on, expanding or even going somewhere else than the writing does. it's what makes picture books amazing pieces of literature!
