One word: Visuals

Visuals means the pictures, drawings, and letters you see. In ads, the pictures and the words together are called visuals — everything you look at.

Why this word is good

  • It covers both sketches (pictures) and letters (words).
  • People who make ads use the word visuals to talk about what you see.
  • It's short and easy to remember: visuals = things you see.

How to learn 52 visuals — fun steps

  1. Make 52 flashcards: draw one sketch or write one letter on each card.
  2. Look and say: show a card and say what you see (name the picture or the letter).
  3. Trace and draw: copy the picture or letter with your pencil.
  4. Match game: find two cards that go together (letter + picture that starts with that letter).
  5. Sing or clap: make a little song or clap while you say the card names to remember them.
  6. Show and tell: pick a card and tell a short, silly story about it.

Have fun! Learning 52 visuals can be a game you play a little every day. Ask a grown-up to help make the cards and play with you.
