My First 500 Words

Five hundred first words are set out with real photographs, each clearly labelled, covering the things a small child actually meets during a day. Sections run through the alphabet, numbers, shapes and colours, transport, birds and animals, professions, household objects, toys, action words, parts of the body and opposites. Photographs rather than drawings do the work here, which helps recognition transfer from page to room, and the labelling stays clean enough for a child to match word to picture without help. Topics covered: • Five hundred labelled words spread across everyday categories • Real photographs used in place of illustrated stand-ins • Sections for opposites, action words and parts of the body • A layout that supports pointing, naming and repetition For babies, toddlers and preschoolers, and useful to parents and playgroup teachers building vocabulary, available in English from Boipoka.
