This resource provides lessons to enhance beginning language learners and newcomers. It is a go-to resource for students who are learning English. The vocabulary exposure and language practice will help them acquire and improve their English listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.
I N T RO D U C T I O N
When working with beginning language learners and newcomers, it is not only important to help them and their families understand U.S. school systems and their policies, but also to become familiar with the English language. Families emigrate for many different reasons including a myriad of difficulties or traumas their children may have previously experienced. When students become acclimated to their new environment in a stress-free way, it helps them lower their natural affective filter to learn a new language and grow in confidence!
There are available resources online such as the U.S. Department of Education’s Newcomer Toolkit found on at https://ncela.ed.gov/educator-support/ toolkits/newcomer-toolkit
The focus of this Vocabulary Resource Kit is to provide lessons with activities and tools that help increase English vocabulary and leverage dictionary usage skills with the PictureThis! Word-to-Word Dictionary included with this resource kit.
W h at We Can Le a r n in E n g l is h

When working with beginning language learners, labeling realia—things in the classroom used in real life—is a great way to help build familiarity and begin the practice of identifying the names of things we use in English. Learning new vocabulary will be further enhanced using the bilinqial PictureThis! Word-to-Word Dictionary. Students learning English will identify names of objects to connect them with the words they already know in their home language. Helping them to make connections and apply what they learn will help them increase their English vocabulary as they build their literacy skills.
This resource also provides exercises that introduce aspects of English such as letters, phonemes and sight words to students. There are various levels of English speakers in different grades and the activities here will help with a range of abilities.
