HOW TO USE THESE CARDS?
Cards with no labels are recommended for visual matching with 0-3 year old babies and toddlers to enrich their language and to give a small introduction of the subject to the child. Simply show them a picture, and using clear and crisp speech say the name of the picture. The reason we present language cards in a classified way, as separate sets, is to support a child’s organization and classification of vocabulary. Depending on how old/ready your child is, these cards can be used for a variety of purposes including:
☛ VOCABULARY cards (For example, to use with 3-period lesson):
Period 1: Place 3 or 4 photo cards on a clean workspace that is free from distractions. Touch and name the first card. Say, “This is an elephant.” Repeat for all.
Period 2: Move your hands away and say, “Show me the elephant.” If s/he cannot or points to the wrong card, simply move back to period 1.
Period 3: Point to a card and say, “What is this?” If the child does not say the name, never indicate that your child has failed. Just go back to period 2.
☛ SIMILAR OBJECT-to-PICTURE matching
Prepare a basket of matching objects (Best used with realistic figurines)
Choose 5-7 object cards (might be less with younger toddlers) and present on a tray or in a basket together with matching figurines
Matching the cards to real life objects the child can bridge the gap between their newly-discovered items and the proper vocabulary used to name them
