This exciting collection of theme-related activities and reproducible materials is designed to enhance students' acquisition of language as well as the development of both written and oral expression. The broad topics and large number of activities allow professionals to address language arts content while integrating across several curriculum areas.

Over 100 activities are suggested for each theme, covering:

• Semantics
• Syntax and morphology
• Cognitive language skills
• Pragmatics
• Phonology

The reproducible charts, posters, handouts and cut-apart pictures – 40 pages per theme – may be used alone for teaching and reinforcing language skills, or they may be used in conjunction with the suggested activities.

Also included are:

• Display-size illustrations of objects
• Reproducible home activities
• Ideas for related activities
• Reference lists for expanding activities

Originally published as individual Thematic Unit Language Kits, these materials have now been consolidated and revised to facilitate expanded usage. The reproducible format permits the materials to be presented to large and small groups, displayed in classrooms and incorporated into learning center activities.
