Land & Water 3-Part Cards
Land & Water Photo & Definition Cards
Land & Water forms are basic geographic knowledge every child needs to know. Our photo and
definitions cards help children gain a complete understanding of each geographic form. First, use the
3-Part Photo Cards to present a clear visual definition of key land and water forms. Then, use the
Definition Cards to let children have fun while they read for meaning.

Choose Land & Water I for basic forms (island, lake, gulf, bay, peninsula, isthmus, cape, bay,
archipelago, system of lakes). Choose Land & Water II for advanced forms (mesa, canyon, volcano,
reservoir, glacier, desert, lagoon, spit). Download our free

Definition Cards

Definition Cards let children have fun while they read for meaning. These reading classification cards create a
textual puzzle that children can manipulate as they build each definition. Each Definition Card packet includes
the following for each term: Control Card (3 2/3" x 4 1/3"); the Control Card cut into a Word Card (3 2/3" x 3/4") and
a Full Definition Card (3 2/3" x 3 3/8"); and the Control Card cut into a Word Card (3 2/3" x 3/4"), a First-half
Definition Card (3 2/3" x 1 1/4"), and a Second-half Definition Card (3 2/3" x 2 1/4"). Designed for children who
have mastered phonetic reading (ages 5+).
