Looking for Words
Explore community, home and school
Community exploration program combines reasoning skills with vocabulary
building. Excellent for reading enrichment. Engaging graphics, interesting
animation and clear speech help teach hundreds of words in context. Features
“explore,” “list,” and “picture print” options. In “explore,” students
freely move to different locations, 24 in all, learning new words as they
go. Select any object and it identifies itself. In “list” option, students
search for specific words on their list. Where would you find a basketball,
broom or mailbox? How about a fire hydrant, fire truck or toaster?
Use the “picture print” option to create student activities or illustrated
vocabulary booklets. New feature lets teachers select specific words on
student lists. Scores are saved to track skill development.
