Webinar Recording:

Picturebooks and Play

Join Deirdre O’Toole and Dr. Clara Fiorentini for an inspiring webinar exploring the powerful role of picturebooks in play-based learning in the junior classroom. This session focuses on using high-quality picturebooks as a stimulus for meaningful play opportunities and for developing rich oral language around a chosen theme.

The webinar highlights the interactive readaloud, targeted vocabulary instruction, and the creation of purposeful “invitations to play,” all carefully aligned with the Primary Language Curriculum and the Primary Curriculum Framework. This practical webinar will support teachers in making intentional, curriculum-aligned links between picturebooks, play, and language learning.

This webinar was recorded in February 2026. You have access to the webinar recording for 30 days.

Audience: Teachers of Infants to Second Class
