- Boosts brain connectivity;
- Develops inference and comprehension;
- Enhances creative, critical and divergent thinking skills;
- Aids wellness: restful sleep, reduces anxiety, and as with all forms of reading it reduces the symptoms of depression;
- When used in groups, promotes vocabulary acquisition;
- Develops the skills of reading without the words, which means those for whom written texts are a barrier can still enjoy the very important benefits of reading on cognitive health and development.
Lost and other wordless books provide useful insights into "how stories are built" with clear 3-act narrative structure, foreshadowing, symbolism, light and dark, pace etc The reader is already immersed in the creative process because they have already created the story through connections they made from the images. This makes it an ideal resource for students to develop characters, add dialogue and describe settings etc..
