Abstract	A review of literature on the use of wordless picture books to develop language skills is presented as background for the relatively brief description of a project in which wordless picture books were used with Latino children. The project is a collaborative one between Bloomsburg University, Kutztown University, and Thomas Ford Elementary School (Pennsylvania). Thomas Ford Elementary School currently serves a culturally diverse population which includes 74 percent Latino students. Based upon recognized needs of the Reading School District, this project's main objective is to enhance concept and language development in Latino children through the use of wordless picture books and to train teachers in the most effective use of these books.
