This set of school picture-word cards includes 18 school related words: apple, bus, book, chair, crayons, glue, paint, scissors, paper, pencil, eraser, ruler, back pack, lunchbox, school, globe, notebook, chalkboard.
There are more sets in the Picture-Word Cards collection. This set is great to use at the beginning of the school year.
How to use the cards in the classroom:
You can 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 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:
These cards have 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.)

And yet another super help from you, Karen! Thank you so very much for sharing the hundreds of ideas you do. Being back in the classroom after many. many, many years has been a challenge in many ways because teaching is done in a very different way now. There has been so much to learn so I can give the best to the children – and you have been my most important teacher. This past year has been my first back, and not a theme has gone by that I have not used your knowledge, ideas, tips and resources. I am so hugely grateful for you and all you share. May God bless you and all you do as you share the gifts He has given to you. Thank you.
Thank you for those encouraging words, Sharon! I’m glad the site has been helpful to you!

Hi,
Thank you so much for these word cards! Do you have a set with the dolch word list?

I used these cards and the children loved them…especially useful when introducing key vocabulary to those pupils who have English as an additional language.
Thank you!
Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful ideas 🙂
Wow! Thank you for sharing all of your hard work! I taught half-day preschool 5 years ago…then taught kindergarten…and now am back in full-day preschool! I’m having a hard time re-wrapping my head around preschool. Your site has been so helpful and it has given me some great ideas! I will be visiting your site regularly!
picture cards are awesome. I most of my students are ELL learners and the picture cards really help them build their vocabulary. Thanks I love your site and ideas
Are the small cards still available somewhere? They fit perfectly in an index box and I keep them in my writing center.
They are no longer online, but send me an email with the sets you want & I’ll send them to you. My email is karen@prekinders.com.
I LOVE your word cards!! The pictures are crisp and neat and the font is great! I’m printing them on cardstock and laminating to bind them for the Writing Area. Thank you so much for making them available! 😀
Thank you!
