Real World Picture Words Curriculum

Designed to complement Real-World Picture Words Activity Cards. Each 102-page curriculum includes reproducible student pages, teacher suggestions, and assessment tools. Each of the 200 picture words are illustrated, defined, and used in simple sentences. The words are taught in groups of five to increase both comprehension and retention.

HOW THE CURRICULUM WORKS Words are taught using a two-page teaching guide. One sheet has a reproducible activity page for the students to use for reference. The other sheet is a lesson plan for teaching those five words. The lesson plan includes a systematic way to help students learn what each of the five words means. After reviewing the word, its definition, and the word used in a sentence, the teacher presents activities detailed in the curriculum. Students answer questions about the words, participate in hands-on activities, and listen to stories in which the words are used in context. The engaging format promotes active learning. Open-ended questions encourage discussion.
