Transportation Word Cards

This set of printable transportation word cards includes pictures and words for 26 vehicles: car, airplane, helicopter, motorcycle, bicycle, train, van, delivery truck, semi truck, truck, RV, boat, sailboat, sub, hot air balloon, ambulance, fire truck, mail truck, police car, tow truck, trash truck, dump truck, taxi, bus, school bus, space shuttle.

Transportation Word Cards

Here is a new set for the Picture-Word Cards collection. This set goes with my Transportation Theme.

How to use the word cards:

There are many ways you could use these cards. I use these cards in a pocket chart in my writing center. You can also use them on a word wall, or hook them together on a binder ring to make a picture dictionary. 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 also use the cards in Pre-K “Writer’s Workshop”. Place these cards on a table with some paper and markers.

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 transportation 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.

    Thanks for the picture cards. Great variety. The photos are wonderful! These give a realistic presentation rather than clip art pics.

    Thank you Karen! I am a Youth Services Manager in a public library, and I do a great deal of early literacy programming for 0-5 year olds and their parents. All your resources are awesome, especially the word cards! Thank you so much for your generosity!

    We just switched to a new transportation unit and I found your work online. These cards are fantastic and I know our Pre-K will love the realistic pictures. I will laminate them and am sure they will be very useful for this unit. Many thanks for your hard work!!!

      This is not an editable file. You would need to write on them with marker. I might eventually create editable files for these, but it is more work to create them.
