Picture dictionary on screen: a large picture of a cat, the word in coloured syllables underneath
The activity full screen, made in Lexikit with twelve animal words.

In 3 steps

  1. Add your words: type them, paste a list or start from a theme. The pictures come by themselves.
  2. Set up the picture dictionary: the word on click, always or never, with or without syllables, in order or at random.
  3. Launch full screen: a click or the space bar reveals the word, then moves on to the next picture.

What you can set

  • The word: on click, always visible or never
  • Coloured syllables, with or without the final silent e
  • List order or random
  • Capitals, print or cursive, and a second language under the word
  • Voice: your recording, or the device's voice

Ways to use it

  • Discovering the words of a new theme, all together
  • A language routine: name, listen, clap the syllables
  • In speech therapy or at home, going over the words of the week

Frequently asked questions

How many pictures are needed?

One is enough. With a long list, the picture dictionary is paged through picture by picture, in order or at random.

Can the word be hidden?

Yes: set “The word” to “Never” to show only the picture, or to “On click” to make it appear once the class has found it.
