What is Snacks?
Teaching vocabulary and numbers has never been easier. Snacks provides you with big, bright electronic flashcards. These come with native speaker audio and text. You can turn picture, sound and text on or off depending on what language skill you are working on. The big slideshow function with adjustable speed builds in a challenge and keeps the children motivated. The flashcards will teach numbers 1-100, colours and 100 common words for foods, drinks, body parts, school items, clothes, pets, farm animals, transport and ice-cream flavours.
Once they've been introduced to a new set of words they can move onto the games. These have so much in-built repetition that children can't help but learn new words fast. And the games are fun so they want to keep on playing.
There are several guides which you can read on-screen or print out for reference. There are lots of useful teaching tips in there which will help you develop your classroom practice and get the most out of this software. The Kid's Guide, Tips on How to Learn New Words and The Four Skills are written for children and will help them establish effective language learning strategies.
The print function means that you can easily print out any of the pictures you see in Snacks in a variety of sizes, with or without text. This means you can quickly prepare sets of flashcards, displays or assessment material. It will save hours!
