About Find the Picture Name
Matching a picture to its written name is the most direct form of reading practice there is, because the meaning is given and only the decoding is being tested. This game covers a broad set of everyday Gujarati vocabulary across thirty levels, with no word appearing in more than one level.
What this game teaches
- Reading everyday Gujarati words at sight
- Matching a written word to its meaning without translating
- Distinguishing words that look similar in the Gujarati script
- Building vocabulary across animals, objects, food and nature
- Reading with increasing speed and confidence
How to play
- A picture appears with several Gujarati words below it.
- Tap the word that names the picture.
- Tap the picture to hear the word pronounced.
- Ten questions complete a level, across thirty levels.
Before you start
A child should recognise Gujarati letters and be beginning to read words. Matras appear throughout, so some familiarity helps.
For teachers
The distractor words are chosen to look similar, so success requires reading rather than guessing from the first letter. Children who consistently pick a word starting with the right letter but ending wrongly are reading only the beginning - a common and correctable habit.
For parents
Cover the options and ask your child to say the Gujarati word for the picture first. Recall before recognition makes the practice considerably more valuable.
