Texts with pictograms, accessible to every student

The pictograms are the property of the Government of Aragon and were created by Sergio Palao for ARASAAC, which distributes them under a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA licence.

For teachers, speech therapists and families of students who are deaf or hard of hearing, have a disability or use AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication). Work in projects: each text gives its words with pictograms, sheets to read and print, and a vocabulary every student adds to from one project to the next.

The worksheet

Write, and every key word gets its pictogram

A text from the classroom, with ARASAAC's pictogram over every key word. Choose how it looks: the Fitzgerald key's colours, all in capitals, black and white, the size of the drawings.

The farmer leaves the house while it is still dark and goes to milk the cow. Warm milk fills the bucket. The hens are already clucking: every morning there are new eggs in the straw. Then the farmer climbs onto the tractor and drives to the field.

On paper

Everything ready to print

Sheets of words and of sentences, every pictogram as an image, and games made from the same words.

Match up

The drawings on the left and their words, shuffled, on the right, to join with a line.

Card size

Memory
Every word twice, to cut out and turn face down.
Bingo
Different boards with the words, and the cards to call out.
Word search
The words hidden in the grid, with the drawings as clues.
Board game
A track with the drawings: whoever lands on one says the word or makes a sentence.
Fill the gap
Each sentence misses a pictogram; below, three to choose the right one from.
And many more games

The student

A vocabulary that grows with each student

A student's vocabulary is the sum of the projects they work on. The words they already know keep the pictogram they know, and the new ones stand out at a glance.

Signs

In testing

The sign beside the pictogram

We're drawing a collection of LSC and LSE signs that keeps on growing. If your centre signs, every word that already has one shows its sign beside the pictogram, on screen and on paper. It's in testing: not every word has its sign yet.

Who it is for

For everyone who works with children who are deaf or hard of hearing, have a disability or use AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication).

Speech therapists
Each student's vocabulary, ready in a minute and kept from one session to the next.
Teachers
The classroom's texts, adapted so everyone can read them: the story, the topic, the school trip.
Families
The same pictograms at home and at school, to read together and to play.
