5. Sequence of the Picture-Word Inductive Model 1. Select a picture. 2. Have students identify what they see in the picture. 3. Label the picture parts identified. (The teacher draws a line from the pic- ture to the word, says the word, spells the word and points to each letter with her or his finger or the marker, says the word again, and students spell the word with the teacher.) 4. Read/review the picture-word chart. 5. Have students classify the words into a variety of groups. Identify common concepts in the words to emphasize with the class as a whole. The students “read” the words by referring to the chart if the word is not in their sight vocabulary. Phonics/Grammar/Mechanics/Usage 1. Students hear the words pronounced correctly many times, and they have an immediate reference source to use (the picture-word chart) as they add these words to their sight vocabulary. At the teacher’s discretion, almost any sound/symbol relationship can be emphasized (introduced or taken to mastery). 2. Students hear and see the letters identified correctly many times, and they see them formed correctly many times.

6. 6. Read/review the picture-word chart (say, spell, and say). 7. Add words, if desired, to the picture- word chart and to the word banks. 8. Have students think of a title for their picture-word chart. (The teacher leads students to think about the “evidence” and information in their chart and about what they want to say about this information.) 9. Have students generate a sentence, sentences, or a paragraph directly re- lated to their picture-word chart. Students may classify group-generated sets of sentences. The teacher models putting the sentences together into a good paragraph. 10. Read/review the sentences or paragraphs.

8. Rationale Link students’ natural listening-speaking language directly to print. Students inquire from the beginning – starting with studying a picture and identifying objects and actions in it. The words they “shake out” of the picture become the content of instruction.
