Teaching Vocabulary (Matching Pictures)

Features and Benefits

The first step in sentence creation

• Picture Sentence Match helps students move beyond recognition of individual symbols or words to an understanding of how words combine to create sentences
• Students build receptive language skills by learning to recognise the association between a picture and a sentence describing it. This understanding of sentence meaning is an essential first step for students learning to create their own sentences.

Associate pictures and sentences

• Students can learn to associate pictures and sentences in one of two ways. They can choose one of two still pictures to match a sentence that is shown and read aloud, or they can choose the correct sentence that matches a still picture.
• Three difficulty levels gradually challenge students to make finer discriminations when choosing a match. As the difficulty increases, students must interpret the meaning of a greater number of words in the sentence to determine the correct match.

Generalise skills to the natural environment

• Picture Sentence Match uses familiar vocabulary that easily lends itself to role-playing and practice in everyday functional skills. Common objects and activities make it simple to use the same sentence structure and vocabulary in real life.

Benefit a wide range of learners

• Picture Sentence Match provides excellent preparation for use of a communication device because it models correct sentence formation with minimal requirements for physical control. Visual feedbackSymbol and voice support allow non-readers to benefit from the program. Learners of English as a second language can use Picture Sentence Match to better understand proper sentence structure and use of pronouns.
