Visuals for ELLs with WordFoto
A key strategy in supporting ELLs in the classroom is the utilization of visuals. These visuals provide ELLs with pictures and text that can help develop their vocabulary . According to a blog post by Edutopia , utilizing visuals connects with ELA Standards (Common Core Standards): Integrate and evaluate information presented in diverse media and formats, including visually , quantitatively, and orally. Use precise language and domain-specific vocabulary to inform about or explain the topic. WordFoto is a great iPad app ($1.99) that lets you turn your photos and words into visuals for your ELLs. Here is how it works: 1. Take a picture or choose a photo from your photo library. 2. Type in the word(s) of your object. 3. Crop, adjust the font style, and fine-tune your photo with the toolbar. You can save your photo to the Photo Library, and then share it on Facebook or email it to your student.
