Eye on Literacy wordless picture books are designed by two Canadian educators for literacy learners with limited formal education. The books contain high quality visuals to build on the oral language skills of adult second language literacy learners with limited schooling, to help create learner-generated texts. The site states: "Moving the learner from oral language to print through visuals creates an environment where, together, the teacher and learner can build meaningful contexts and decoding skills. The emphasis is on oral language which becomes the stepping stone to the reading and writing process."
Each book comes with assessments with audio. Yearly subscriptions $45 or books can be purchased individually.
This site is an online picture dictionary with images, audio and text and activities.
Topics: the body, food, the house, numbers, etc.
