Shapes, strokes and the alphabet to print
Three themes to print for the whole year: shapes, pre-writing strokes and the letters of the alphabet, as a picture dictionary, bingo and memory.
Themes with verbs and adjectives
The themes of Lexikit now mix nouns, verbs and adjectives, because a vocabulary made only of nouns does not let you make sentences.
Why the same words in every resource
A word is learnt by meeting it often, in varied situations. That is why Lexikit starts from a single list of words for every resource.
