Prepositions

This activity was built in IntelliPics Studio 3® in conjunction with a group of teachers who were wanting to teach prepositions to children who were struggling with learning these concepts. The activity includes 24 digital pictures, one short video, and IntelliMations to draw the student's interest.

We then utilized four strategies on each page. Either a digital picture by itself was presented, or a digital picture and an animation was presented to represent the preposition we would be working with on that page. Then a audio recording of the scene was provided to auditorily give instruction to the child. Lastly a text box was presented with the sentence written out. The sentence included the preposition in question and the preposition was highlighted in italics and was presented in a different color font. The child could then click the text box to hear the sentence read out as many times as they liked.

Please note that we also used these teaching strategies in the the templates we now sell on our Cause and Effect & BEYOND CD. On that CD we use similar techniques to present scenes to children and provide them with the opportunity to select the correct preposition. There are four different preposition activities, each with ten questions, on the CD. The child's answers are automatically recorded and available for review if you own a copy of IntelliPics Studio 3® or Classroom Suite. Required Software: IntelliTools Classroom Suite Player® or IntelliPics Studio 3®.
