SNAPWORDS Snap it on p aper, splash it in your mind

WHAT DO SNAPWORDS MEAN? To represent a vocabulary, you use a combination of words’s writing and a clue of picture which includes its meaning. We all now about how important to see visuals to learn something. Why not using a vocabulary with it? HOW IT ALL BEGAN? SnapWords were designed by Sarah Major when she was teaching a group of kindergarteners They were bright kids, but they couldn’t learn and remember words. One day after sounding out “help” multiple times, Sarah was sad to find that no one remembered ever seeing the word before. In desperation she asked, “What does this word look like to you?” One little boy said, “It looks like someone raising his two arms and yelling “HELP!” And so SnapWords were born. Each word was designed with kid-feedback until the first 306 words were created and refined.
