LESSON 1: A word stands for a picture
OBJECTIVE: The learner will associate a picture with a
word, phrase or sentence.
A word, phrase or sentence can have many different pictures.
tan fan
Have your child read these words, then ask; "What is a tan fan?"
If the learner describes a tan fan or can draw a picture of one -- an
electric fan that is tan, a hand fan that is tan, a sports fan that is
tan, etc. -- go to Lesson 2.
If the learner hesitates, repeats, "It's a tan fan," or has any other
difficulty answering, ask him, "What would you bring me if I asked you to
go to the closet and bring me a tan fan?" At this point the learner will
usually associate the object with its word symbol.
Continue with similar phrases until the learner connects that words stand
for a picture:
ten fans, ten men, tan bag, big bat
