How to use the word cards:
Here are a few ways you can use these picture-word cards and display them in your classroom.
Use these cards in a pocket chart in your writing center, on a word wall, or make a picture dictionary. You can also use the cards in Pre-K “Writer’s Workshop”. Place these cards on a table with some paper and markers. Offer it as an option for those children who are ready to copy words on their paper. Many children will be interested in trying it out.
You can make picture dictionaries by punching a hole in the top left corner (punch hole dot provided). Hook them together with a metal binder ring.
You might also want to put them in the pocket chart during the theme unit, then later hook them on a picture dictionary ring to add to a collection of thematic words through the year.
You can use these cards to practice clapping or stomping the syllables in the words.
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.

I have been searching online for quality picture cards to use at home with my two preschool age sons, and finally I came across your blog! Yay, these are great! Thank you for sharing. These are exactly the graphics I have been looking for. The selection of size/blank etc. is a real bonus, for turning the cards into matcing games. I can’t wait to print and start using. I’m really foucusing on expanding my sons’ vocabulary this summer, and these will be a real help! I am excited to start following your blog, you’ve got great ideas and your page is really well organized and easy to navigate. Thank you!
Thank you, Joy!
These are great! I print out 2 sets of the large cards – I hang one up and the other I cut apart. The kids have to match the picture to the card, and they use the wall chart for help. It’s been great to see how the children’s environmental print recognition has skyrocketed since starting this.
I absolutely love the creativity and awesome resources on Karen’s site. What a help it is to all teachers and children.
Thank you for being an educator!!!
