Using pictures to teach letters and words,

numbers and counting

ABC’s and 123’s

ABC’s and 123’sFor the ABC’s in the previous slide I used the crop feature. I also had to rotate the picture. I retouched the picture to get rid of a word under the s and then applied the sepia tone.

I also used the crop feature for the 123’s and inserted some text to make it the phrase 123’s. I also used the “I’m feeling lucky” feature which enhanced the picture.

First I cropped the picture

Pictures can help students recognize words starting with particular letters

Then I used the piknik feature to enhance and add a border

Here they can

actually see the word to match it to the letter

• Rotate

• Add text and symbol

• Used the saturation feature

The letter B!I cropped it, added some highlights and shadows, and again used the saturation

feature. Look how it pops now! Boo!
