Visualinguistics™ Phrasal Verbs — High School Edition: 10 Comic Posters + 10 Workbooks for Grades 9–12 ELD (90-Page PDF)

Why students actually remember these

Phrasal verbs are where English stops making sense: get up, get over, get along, get away with. Visualinguistics turns each verb into a map. Every meaning sits in its own panel, acted out by the same six teens, with a speech bubble that uses the verb in a real sentence. Students see the meaning, hear it in context, and meet the same characters again in the workbook pages.

What’s inside

• 10 units: GET · GO · MAKE · TAKE · COME · PUT · LOOK · TURN · BRING · BREAK
• 10 full-page comic posters (11 × 8.5, landscape) — one phrasal-verb web per unit
• 121 phrasal verbs, each with a student-friendly meaning and example sentence
• Cloze A (sentences) and Cloze B (a story passage)
• Dialogue completion with a model conversation
• Let’s Talk partner questions and a Write About It frame with a sentence starter
• Student self-check for every phrasal verb
• Answer key for every activity

Meet the cast

Dani, Mateo, Valeria, Farid, Linh, and JP are students at Vista Heights High — a robotics builder, a chess captain, an artist, a guitarist, a skater, and a student-government leader. Every sentence is standard English, every scene is TV-14 or gentler, and nobody gets put down.

Who it’s for

High school ELD and ELL classes (Expanding to Bridging), ELA classes with multilingual learners, intervention and newcomer support, and homeschool families teaching English.
