Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: using an illustration to discuss an unfamiliar word
1
An adult says one new book word. Repeat it.
2
Point to the picture clue for the word.
3
Draw the object or action the word names.
4
Choose: does the word mean big or small? Use the picture.
5
Use the new word in an oral sentence with an adult.
6
Tell an adult what picture detail helped you.
- Choose one useful concrete word from the book rather than a long vocabulary list.
- Read the sentence containing the word, then pause at the illustration.
- Accept gestures and drawings as evidence of understanding.
