Picture Grammar presents, in a simple, visual format, the meaning and definitions of nine parts of speech. In addition the definitions of most common functional words are illustrated with a picture which includes a voiced sentence that portrays the meaning.
These common (functional) words are often referred to as High Frequency words, Sight or Tricky words. They usually have multiple meanings, refer to abstract concepts or perform as more than one part of speech, making English a difficult lamguage to learn, understand and use. Approximately 75% of most text contains these words.
Picture Grammar is especially suitable for dyslexics, visual learners and/or ESL students who may struggle to create meaning from a sequence of letters alone. It links ‘what the word looks like’ with ‘what the word sounds like together and with ‘what the word means’.
