This comprehensive guidebook shows you how to set up and manage your realia collection to help build the vocabularies of English language learners.
Provides dozens of language rich activities. Includes templates to help you make your own felt story mats. Many children in today’s classrooms struggle with the English language. Some come from homes where a foreign language is spoken; others simply have not developed a large enough academic vocabulary to thrive in the classroom. In either case, many children are at risk because of their limited English vocabularies. Realia—miniature objects that resemble their real-world counterparts—provide an excellent tool to help these children develop essential English vocabulary. Realia enhance meaning and make vocabulary more concrete and, therefore, more comprehensible.
