Picture Word Wall - Kit 1 - ©2000 Caboodle & Co.
Kit 1 Lesson Brick Master. Read left to right, top to bottom. This is Lesson 10, the first blend.

This Early Literacy resource is comprised of blackline masters. Reproduction rights are granted to a single teacher. The sheets in this kit are coloured light green to make them easily distinguishable. This will not affect the quality of the photocopies.

The Picture Word Wall series teaches 104 high-frequency sight words and 104 common word families simultaneously, in an original manner. This first kit contains 18 lessons.

Key Words: a the I am my we he she it is see and to of that her his they

Phonograms: -at -am -ad -ag -ap -it -ike -ock -ot -ea -en -all -ick -og -ib -in -eed

Each Lesson Brick features the key word in a delightfully illustrated, four-line verse. Each verse teaches a common phonogram/word family in its rhyme. Students recite lessons as chants.

Follow-up worksheets are designed to make charming little Balanced Booklets for students to collect and reread. Included are several reading, writing, printing and drawing exercises. Students learn a total of six word family members per lesson. Double-sided photocopying is required.

Smaller bricks are used for word wall display, an important strategy that gives abstract sight words the exposure they require. The accompanying illustration provides a learning advantage. Using yarn to trace key words is recommended for stimulating tactile intelligence.

Kits contain a teacher's guide and photocopy masters for constructing components. Reading Buddies can contribute by assembling booklets.

A consistent format and 144 defining drawings make Kit 1 an excellent resource for primary ESL and Special Education students.

This is one of the easiest, most affordable ways for emergent readers to acquire a foundation vocabulary and the keys to unlock the English language.
