SnapWords® Numbers, Colors, Days, Months, & Seasons

SnapWords® is an innovative teaching tool designed to accelerate sight word recognition and reading fluency in young learners.

The Numbers, Colors, Days, Months, & Seasons card set teaches children essential vocabulary in these foundational topics. These resources are ideal for speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and educators who are focused on early language development, literacy, and thematic vocabulary instruction. 

This collection of high-frequency words is crafted to engage visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners through a multi-sensory approach, ensuring that children of all learning styles can achieve reading success.

Visual Mnemonics for Enhanced Memory

Each word in this collection is paired with a vivid illustration that directly represents its meaning. This visual mnemonic technique is grounded in educational research, helping children form strong mental associations between words and their definitions. Research by Ehri (2005) supports the effectiveness of visual imagery in improving word recognition and memory.

Movement for Kinesthetic Learners

SnapWords® incorporates physical movement aligned with each word, engaging the body in the learning process. By connecting motion to meaning, children actively engage with the material, enhancing their learning experience. Studies by DeLamater et al. (2019) highlight that integrating movement with learning significantly boosts memory and retention, making it especially effective for kinesthetic learners.

Contextual Learning for Deeper Understanding

The words in SnapWords® are presented in meaningful contexts, helping children understand their usage in real-life scenarios. Beck, McKeown, and Kucan (2002) emphasize that contextual learning leads to a deeper understanding of vocabulary, promoting better usage and long-term retention.
