This month we’ll look at the importance of vocabulary.<\/p>\n

1. Creating a graphic organizer is another way to meet students needs: Here is one example.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Copy the words in their story\/book context and substitute words that relate to the students’ experiences\/vocabulary. Look up and discuss how the substituted word(s) change the textual meaning and how specific words carry different meanings.<\/p>\n

3.Consider using acronyms when learning a group of related words: The directions on a compass: N<\/strong>ever E<\/strong>at S<\/strong>hredded W<\/strong>heat = N<\/strong>orth, E<\/strong>ast, S<\/strong>outh, W<\/strong>est.<\/p>\n

4. Use games to reinforce vocabulary words. Make a Jeopardy game where you give the definition and students guess the word in a question sentence. Example:<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A person who overseers a sporting event to be certain the rules are followed. <\/em><\/p>\n

(Answer: “What is a referee?”)<\/p>\n

5. Try Vocabulary Bingo or make Word Searches. (link: tools.atozteacherstuff.com\/word-search-maker)<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 I recently saw a clever way to teach vocabulary on Teaching Channel. Sarah Brown Wessling using what\u00a0 she called, Vocabulary Paint Chips. Check it out!<\/p>\n
