Reading Pictures
We read pictures in the same way that
we read a page of words. We derive the
message from the medium by attaching
meaning to it.
4 levels of reading a picture
1. Enumerative Level – this level
merely calls for the giving of what one
sees in the picture (flower, ball, or dog)

2. Descriptive level- giving a sentence
on what is seen or how one sees in the

4. Integrative level- this is relating what
one sees in the picture to life.
2. Photographs
are also still pictures which can be
mounted or unmounted, photographic
reproductions taken from a magazine,
newspaper or books.
3. Illustrations
are non-photographic reconstruction of
representation of reality, etched or
drawn by an illustrator, the teacher or
the learners themselves.
4. Flashcards
are valuable material for drill activities
particularly in the teaching of Mathematics,
English, and Filipino.
The following are
consideration in using
flashcards
1. The flashcards must be bold and big enough
to be seen by everybody.
2. Flash the cards in a fast or snappy manner to
develop fast thinking or response. This will
enable the pupils to automize response.
The following are
consideration in using
flashcards
3. Flash the cards from back to front. Write the
answer at the back of each flashcard so that as
you flash you can see the answer and thus you
will ne able to check if the response of the
pupils is correct or not.
The following are
consideration in using
flashcards
4. Hold the flashcards firmly at your
chest level. Take care not to hide the
words of the math combination written
in it.
Purposes for which flat picture,
photographs & illustrations can be used
for teaching
1. To concretize words and symbols –
when teachers talk about a haunted
house learners will not be able to
imagine what kind of house it is.

2. To lead meaning to what one reads
especially seeing an illustrations.

3. To introduce or motivate- the
pictorial background can serve to orient
the class to the kind of literary piece
they are going to read.

4. To correct misconceptions- pictures and
photographs can make meaning more vivid and
clever, because they can capture scenes,
emotions and details which words are not able
to describe.

5. To summarize a unit- to give a fuller grasp of
the unit , pictures, photographs and illustrations
should supplement and complement what
learners read in references and what they heard
from the lectures of teachers.

Editor's Notes

  • #1 This may involve computer-based learning or multimedia materials used to supplement in-class activities. Learning technology tools include tutorials, simulations, productivity tools, communication tools—such as email—and more. It also includes the range of digital tools and media used for teaching and learning. Technology help students increase their self-responsibility, can act as an extension of their individual and collaborative learning, and empower students to take part in higher-order learning to understand how knowledge is used beyond the classroom.
  • #2 They are the cheapest and the most readily available of all learning materials. Many of them are free. Teachers and students can gather pictures from magazines, newspapers, advertisements, pamphlet, posters, circulars and other things. But like all other learning materials, their values and their selection and use should be given careful considerations.
  • #9 I see a big yellow flower.
  • #10 The yellow flower is the favorite of the girl.
  • #11 Mother bought plastic sunflower from the superstore.
  • #12 Mother bought plastic sunflower from the superstore.
  • #13 Illustration shows that direction at which movement must take its course or instruction on how to go about assembling a tool in Science or a material of equipment.
  • #14 Drills are very important means of fixing the skills and automatizing the responses of pupils/students. Flashcards serve the purpose when used very well. Flashcards come in the form of word cards, phrase cards, sentence cards, mathematical combination cards and picture cards.
  • #18 how does it looks like, but if a picture is being shown, the learners will have a specific visualization of the kind of haunted house the teacher is talking about. Pupils will then have uniform information about the topics discussed.
  • #19 in a Science class students read about single-celled organism like the amoeba or the paramecium. An enlarge picture of both when seen by the pupils will enrich what they read.
  • #20 in a Literature class, where students are required to read the Ilocano epic, Biag ni Lam-ang, pictures of some episodes from the epic may arouse curiosity and interest to read it.
  • #21 Concepts are non-pictorial, but they can help in developing and presenting them. Liberty is a concept, which is non-pictorial, but pictures showing the effects and the signs of liberty can help one to better understand it.
  • #22 Pictures should become an integral part of the learning process.
  • #23 A violent picture may stimulate one to dislike the act; a beautiful landscape may evoke appreciation while a colorful dish arrangement with garnishing may stimulate appetite. This arousal focuses one’s attention and sustains his drives about it. This condition facilitates teaching and learning.
