How to

Use this Book

Purpose and Use

The Visual Vocabulary Resources book provides teachers using the Macmillan/McGraw-Hill California

Treasures reading program photo-word cards that visually introduce specific vocabulary from the

program The photos are intended to preteach vocabulary to English learners and Approaching Level

students, as well as offer additional, meaningful language and concept support to these students

The photo-word cards are designed to interrelate with the English Learners and Approaching Small

Groups lessons and the English Learner Resource lessons, all of which are designed to support the EL

and struggling reader population The Visual Vocabulary Resources book is referenced specifically in

those lessons.

Vocabulary Words

In the first half of the book, the photo-word cards support three categories of vocabulary in the core

reading program:

1 Key Vocabulary These are the Key Words as introduced to the entire class in the core vocabulary

lesson and core selection Students of all levels of language acquisition are taught these words:

Beginning, Early Intermediate, Intermediate, and Early Advanced.

2 Function Words and Phrases These are idioms, adverbs, two-word verbs, and other words

and phrases of particular use to English learners Function Words and Phrases are also drawn

from the core selection, but will not be taught to the whole group as part of the core

les-son Students of all levels of language acquisition are taught these words: Beginning, Early

Intermediate, Intermediate, and Early Advanced.

3 Basic Words These words are chosen from the core selection, to fit a specific thematic category

that will help EL learners increase their depth of vocabulary These words are not singled out for

instruction to the whole group Only students at the Beginning and Early Intermediate levels of

language acquisition are taught these words.

The second half of the book supports the vocabulary presented in the English Language

Development component of the California Treasures reading program The ELD Vocabulary

presented is selected from the weekly Skill-Based English Learners Practice Reader In the place of

the Basic Words categories, there are Content Words drawn from ELD Content Book selections

Structure of Book

The Key Vocabulary and Function Words and Phrases sections both have two photos on each right-hand

page Each photo represents one vocabulary word The teacher script is located on the back of each

card directly behind its accompanying photo The Basic Words section shows six photos per page,

followed by a teacher routine The ELD Content Words section mimics this format with 4 to 6 words per

page.

Teacher Scripts

The lessons found on the Key Vocabulary, Function Words and Phrases, and ELD Vocabulary sections are

interactive in approach They define the vocabulary words in English and Spanish, point out cognates

(where appropriate), and provide strategies to get students talking and using the new language as

much as possible; for example students:

chorally pronounce the word to focus on articulation

partner talk with structured sentence frames to use the word in oral speech

role-play to make the word come to life and use in everyday situations

connect the word to known words and phrases through sentence replacement activities

engage in movement activities to experience the word’s meaning

The techniques make instruction engaging and memorable for students These low-risk ways to practice

speaking help students make connections and develop understanding as they acquire vocabulary.
