Picture-Word Inductive Model
The Picture-Word Inductive Model
(PWIM) is a language arts strategy
developed by Emily Calhoun to teach
beginning learners. It uses pictures
containing familiar objects to help students
develop their sight reading skills and writing
vocabulary. From there students learn to
write sentences and paragraphs. Students
learn inductively by asking questions about
the structure of words and sentences
Picture-Word Inductive Model
• Used to teach numerous skills
concurrently
▫ forming letters
▫ hearing and identifying phonetic parts of
words
▫ classifying words
▫ forming sentences and even paragraphs
• Taught over extended lessons
• Students have multiple chances to hear
and read words.
Picture-Word Inductive Model:
Steps
1. Select a picture.
2. Ask a student to identify what they
see in the picture. (Shake out
words.)
3. Ask students to label the picture
parts.
4. Students use “picture” dictionary to
read the words.
Picture-Word Induction Model:
Steps
5. Students classify the words into
groups.
6. Review the picture word chart (Say
the word, Spell it, Say it again)
7. Add words.
8. Ask students to write about the
sentence.
9. Read and review the sentences.
