The IDEA Picture Dictionary 1 is an excellent tool to help beginning-level English students acquire vocabulary.
It contains more than 600 entries, all nouns. Each entry has a colorful picture that acts as its definition and includes translations into six languages.
Appendixes include basic numbers, colors, prepositions and a calendar, as well as activities and instructions for parents and teachers.
Dr. Roberta Stathis, editor of the IDEA Picture Dictionary 1, is also an author of social studies textbooks and reading books.
