I love teaching with picture books. They make learning fun for kids of all ages. One fun language arts topic to teach with picture books is onomatopoeia. First of all, it’s a fun word to say even though it’s a hard to spell. I have to look it up every time I write it.
Just what is onomatopoeia? They’re sound words. Boom. Crash. Bang. Zoom. These are all onomatopoeia words.
Teaching Onomatopoeia with Picture Books
While most books that have onomatopoeia are written for young children, they are a great resource to have on hand when discussing this concept with students of all ages. If your older students are put off by this, you could always use comic books or comic strips. They are full of onomatopoeia words.
