Shared reading activity is done by teachers at school to help students improve their literacy skill. On the other hand, students are usually put a little attention to the main character in the story. They are likely to focus on things that attract them without regard that the main character plays an important role that needs attention as it is a part of a continuous story. This paper offers a multimodal analysis focusing on textual meaning proposed by Painter at al. (2013) as the tool to analyze the grammar of visual design. In this research, analyzing the relationship between the verbal and visual modes in the picturebooks will help teachers in finding the best way to organize the meanings within the page or even sequential images to get the story as a whole. As well as by analyzing the intermodal integration, framing, and focus give them a better understanding to connect the role of the main character from one story to another. The data are taken from 7 Indonesia picturebooks published by PAUDPEDIA with theme Budaya Bijak Sampah. The picturebooks are one of the sources of learning material in class. Using qualititative method, the study aims to give suggestions to the teachers as main user of picturebooks in class regarding how to read the verbal and visual modes. As the result, teachers who have a better understanding in reading the modes will help the students to put their attention to the main character. Therefore, shared reading activity would be very effective.
