How to use the cards in the classroom:
Place the picture-word cards in a pocket chart near the writing center. Encourage kids to take them out of the pocket chart and take them to the table if they want to copy the words on their paper. The children can return the card back to the pocket chart when they are finished. They can also use the cards to spell words with magnetic letters or letter tiles.
More ideas for using these cards:
- Hook them together on a binder ring to make a picture dictionary.
- Use them on a word wall.
- Use the blank set to write words in other languages or other writing styles (e.g. D’Nealian), or use them for modeled writing activities.
Pocket Chart or Ring Cards:
Each card has a dot in the upper left hand corner of each card. You can punch a hole in that dot and hook the cards together on a metal binder ring. (You could also leave the hole unpunched and use these in a pocket chart.)
