Learning to Read
Authors and Illustrators
Season 2026
Episode 8
This activity helps children appreciate a book by identifying the author and illustrator, and explaining what they do. After reading a book, have the child choose another by the same author or illustrator. As you read the second book together, talk about what is similar between the two. Noticing the people who make books gives children a new way to explore stories and discover a favorite creator.
