Add to basketIt has been well documented that crossword puzzles are an effective language teaching tool. Not to mention that they are enjoyable to complete. This ten unit book is designed to help English language learners, both first and second language and both young people and adults, to expand their vocabularies and, hopefully, to let them have fun doing it!
101 Illustrated Crossword Puzzles uses drawings as a visual stimulus to aid in vocabulary acquisition. This type of crossword puzzle works because a pictorial representation puts the word into context. The drawing shows the student what the word is. Result: the student has a picture in her mind of what the thing is.
The ten units in this book cover nine themes. The units are:
Unit One: Opposites
Unit Two: Outer Space
Unit Three: Safety
Unit Four: Sea Creatures
Unit Five: Taking A Trip
Unit Six: In The City
Unit Seven: Insects
Unit Eight: Musical Instruments
Unit Nine: Health Care
Unit Ten: Combined
The tenth unit is a combination of words from the first nine units.
Each of Units One through Nine features thirty arbitrarily chosen vocabulary words.
Each unit has ten crossword puzzles.
In Units One through Nine the first page of each unit has a list of thirty numbered sentences. Each vocabulary word is used in a sentence. The sentences aim to use the words in an every- day context. The teacher can decide how to use this feature. The numbers for the sentences correspond with a pictorial representation of that word on the following page.
The drawings page has the thirty words depicted pictorially. The vocabulary word is written beneath each drawing. And below that is a line for the student to write the word. Practicing spelling is the idea. The drawings page can serve as a handy reference tool when completing the crosswords.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
