Talking graphics are pictures that are paired with an audio clip. The audio can describe the picture, tell a story about the picture, give directions relating to the picture, or just be informational. ====**Classroom Use:** Teachers can use talking graphics for a multiple different purposes.

= **ARTICLES** = **Using Fotobabble in the classroom**

This article explains how a teacher is using Fotobabble in her vocabulary instruction. She states that giving a long list of vocabulary words to a student who has never heard the words before and doesn't even know how to pronounce the word is useless. Instead, if you use fotobabble and provide the definition as well as a drawing of the word, it will be much more helpful to the student.
