Develop comprehensive plan of activities for language learning using 'word cards and picture cards
Answers
Picture cards are very helpful to visualize and learn the word. For example, you can show a card with “Ball” and can ask the children to pronounce the word, spell it and to give the phonetic sound of “B”. They could be taught sentence formation too by using the pictures.
Word cards can be used to teach
syllables. Take a word in a card, ask
the children to mark a “dot” below the words before the syllable and then
discuss. Example, River – Riv/er, the
child has to place a dot below R I V / and a dash below E R. Their vocabulary can be increased by practising
mini-dictionary. The children should be
advised to keep a pocket-book and to write the new word which they come across
with the meaning. They should also be
advised to use them in their writings and the teacher should give extra points
as a form of motivating them.
