Visual Vocabulary for CAPD

[blessed2fosteradopt]

My daughter has recently been diagnosed with CAPD. She is working at about a 2nd grade level and her vocabulary is very weak. I am looking for suggestions for a vocabulary program with a visual component.

 

Thank you.

Vanilla Vocabulary by Lindamood-Bell is worth exploring. http://www.ganderpublishing.com/Visualizing-and-Verbalizing/Vanilla-Vocabulary.html  I'd suggest book 1 (intended for grades K-3) just to make sure your child understands what these very basic words mean. These are supplements to their Visualizing and Verbalizing program. The intent is to help a child create images in their mind for words.  They are very ordinary words that we often take for granted that a child understands, (lots of prepositions and even articles,) but these 1200 words are words that children with language disorders may not fully grasp. The visual side of the V&V program is largely mental images--or at least that's what they're trying to help develop. The books themselves are quite plain, but you can add images from magazines.  Looking through magazines to find pictures to illustrate any words she struggles with could be part of her vocabulary assignment.

I love the looks of this program.  Thank you so much for the recommendation.

Another option would be Quizlet. You would have to load the words & pictures yourself (although many are pre-selected) but that way you can use words from whatever subjects or books you are currently using in your homeschool. Heathermomster turned me on to it and we love it.

 

We also use Wordly Wise online. It does contain some images but just the online component aids in helping make context connections.
