About Butte Publications

• Picture Plus Vocabulary
• Library of Early/Emergent Vocabulary Photographs
• Library of Vocabulary Photographs, 2nd Edition
• My Words
• Vocabulary Exercises for the Young Adult, 2nd Edition
  

These 800+ illustrated worksheets focus on 1,000 basic words to help students develop English vocabulary skills.  They will be presented as printable documents on CD-ROM.  Teachers will appreciate the ability to print only those sheets needed rather than having to inventory loose paper products.

Study or pracatice materials begin with pictures and written words.  Students write the target words (with written and fingerspelled models), complete a hidden word puzzle,  and alphabetize words (in 3 levels of difficulty).  With the aid of a function word sheet, the target words are placed in English sentences where key words are accompanied by illustrated signs, and the sentences are supported by separate illustrations.

Test materials ask students to match words with familiar illustrations, write words into sentences, spell the words below illustrations and again in sentences.

Illustrations are clear and familiar to those who use the popular Picture Plus Dictionary.

Vocabulary Exercises for the Young Adult
2nd Edition
Dorothy McCarr

Vocabulary Building Exercises for the Young Adult is designed for students who need to build useful, meaningful vocabulary to succeed in everyday living. The author has developed the lessons for teenagers and adults who are reading at below-average levels. Young adults with limited reading ability gain courage and confidence when they complete the worksheet exercises and then apply more meaning to current reading materials.

The vocabulary words included in these reproducible worksheets were originally submitted by students, who gathered them from newspapers and magazines that are accessible to most young adults. The students encountered these words but did not understand them.
