Teacher notes and suggestions for teaching each chapter are included at the bottom of each page. These include questions for the teacher to ask followed by the answers. Picture Bingo Games teach understanding of oral language. This book includes two sets of games. The children listen intently as the teacher calls the captions, because they are eager to win the game. It is our experience that the children often asked as they entered the classroom, "Can we play Bingo?"We responded with, "Yes, but we have this work to do first so let's get started so we can play Bingo."As the teacher calls the caption for a picture, the children must listen and find the picture on their card that reflects the meaning of what they have heard.There are two sets of captions for the teacher to call. The first uses the basic vocabulary from the story. The second set is "Enrichment". It introduces some new vocabulary, requiring the children to use context clues to identify the correct picture. Included are two complete sets of Picture Bingo, each with 25 student cards.
