Book excerpt: Picture associations will aid young readers in developing anchor words to increase their oral and written language. Our resource will increase vocabulary, sight word recognition and comprehension as students identify 120 common nouns using real-life pictures as an aid. Unscramble the words that match the pictures. Then, write the word on the lines. Write the nouns in the boxes that match the shape of the word before printing them on the line. Then, draw a picture of the word. Match the food, clothing, or body part word to its picture. Then, print the word on the lines. Many of these picture words can be used to help spell similar words by analogy. Aligned to your State Standards and written to Bloom's Taxonomy, reproducible writing tasks, picture word flash cards, crossword, word search, comprehension quiz and answer key are also included.
