Book of the Month: Unspoken


Alimcani's Book of the Month this month is the wordless picture book, Unspoken by Henry Cole. It is a story from the Underground Railroad. The kids really enjoyed looking through the book and inferring what was happening in the story. It is a very high level skill for first graders to be able to infer from the clues in the pictures and their prior knowledge to tell the story. I was very impressed! We have been reading a lot about the underground railroad this month and learning about important people like Harriet Tubman. Please click the link below and watch this video with your child and discuss it at home. I think that you will be very impressed!
