Description
These parts of a cicada nomenclature cards (also called 3 part cards) are a highly effective way to teach new vocabulary in a systematic way to increase retention through engaging and fun repetition when used correctly.
Learning goals: building vocabulary, visual discrimination through noticing small differences and matching skills, print or cursive letter formation, fine motor development through writing and/or coloring
Points of interest:
- Children enjoy learning about the natural world and you can teach about the incredible 17 year cicada life cycle
- Children love to label, color, and create booklets - this work provides variety in the classroom for these skills.
Pre-requisite:
Nomenclature cards are appropriate for all children in the 3-6 classroom and it is up to each teacher's discretion how many cards and what level a particular child is ready for. The beauty of this work is that it can be modified and adapted to every age level by increasing the skills and difficulty to complete the work. High repetition increases retention, as long as the teacher makes the repetition interesting and engaging to the child.
How to present:
- Based on the child's needs and skill level, consider limiting the number of cards presented. Include more cards and definition cards for children interested in more information as able.
- Observe the child's ability to recall the names of the parts, and then introduce matching images and words.
- Note any areas in which a child is struggling or needs guidance and plan to adjust and re-present the work at another time.
