Picture books: let the pictures tell you what the words mean

When a translation sits next to every English sentence, your eyes drift to the translation. Picture books work differently. If "The bear runs." sits under a picture of a running bear, the meaning arrives without translation, and because the same sentence pattern returns on every page, it starts to feel natural after a few readings. That is one reason English teachers talk about bringing picture books and graphic novels back into class. But if you only read with your eyes, no sound stays with you, so the order matters. First listen to the recording while looking at the pictures, catch the meaning from the pictures, then read aloud along with the recording. For twenty-six years, since 2000, Huston has taught English through English with no Korean in class, showing meaning through pictures. In each 25-minute 1:1 lesson you listen to a short illustrated story, ask and answer questions about the pictures, and finish by reading along. Everyone reads and grows at a different pace, and we cannot promise results, but practice understanding English through pictures can start today.
