SOFTWARE Looking for Words

Explore community, home, and school! Looking for Words is a community exploration program that combines reasoning skills with vocabulary building. It is an excellent aide for reading enrichment. Engaging graphics, interesting animation, and clear speech help teach hundreds of words in context.

 

The Looking for Words program 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 the "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. A new feature lets teachers select specific words on student lists. Scores are saved to track skill development.
