Real World Picture Words Software: 6 Programs

6 software programs, by Janie Haugen-McLane, help students with limited or no reading skills learn commonly used words heard in everyday life. The 1200 picture words have full-color illustrations and are taught in groups of five to increase comprehension and retention. Simple, easy-to-understand definitions and sentences are read aloud for each word, giving students both general and "real-world" meanings.

Sequence of Activities
Each picture word is introduced with its matching illustration. Once the word is read aloud, a series of activities helps students learn to identify, pronounce, define, and use the word.
Students will:
• Learn each word and its definition. Then, hear each word used in a sentence.
• Choose the correct picture and word from 2 choices and then 3 choices.
• Finally, identify each word and its picture from 5 choices.
