Product description

From the author

Introduce community vocabulary with one town map and seven themed JPG sheets: family, pets, school supplies, toys and three occupation sheets. Each themed sheet contains six side-by-side picture-and-word circle pairs for matching, naming or teacher-prepared cards.

Use the map to discuss places such as the fire station and deli. Print selected sheets or insert them into lesson slides. The occupation sheets include a repeated pilot example, so check the set before selecting distinct job pictures.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Name familiar people, objects and occupations from the pictures.

  • Match printed community words with their pictures.

  • Describe a place shown on the town map.

Teaching tips

  • Each theme is a separate image, so print or place only the group a lesson needs rather than the whole set

  • Occupations runs across three sheets - open all three before building a matching or sorting set so the same picture is not used twice

  • The town picture works as the shared backdrop the themed groups are discussed against, since it is the only image in the set that is not a themed icon sheet

Skills covered

  • Community vocabulary building - themed icon sheets for family, occupations, pets, school supplies and toys supply a picture bank for naming everyday people and objects.

  • Sorting by category - the set arrives pre-grouped into six themes, so the same pictures support category and matching work as well as single-word naming.

  • Talking about places in a town - a separate image covering buildings, places and locations gives a shared scene to work from alongside the themed groups.
