Pictures plus words
Show a page with a photo and a caption. Ask: what did the photo show? What did the caption add? Kids learn that both carry information. Have them find one fact from the picture and one from the words.
Why it works: pairing a picture with each word gives kids two ways to remember it, a well-tested principle of how people learn (Mayer, 2009).
