    Vocabulary must be taught in context for students to truly understand the words and build relationships with them, and then in turn use them in writing and speaking. Move away from lists of vocabulary words and looking up definitions, and teach students how to comprehend with this best practice pack!

    *****************************************************************************
    WHAT’S INCLUDED?

    In this Vivid Vocabulary pack, I have provided activities designed on researched best practices for use with popular mentor texts to help you maximize your teaching time. These are the same mentor texts used in UNIT 4 of JUST THE BASICS mentor sentences, interactive activities, and Better Than Basal Reading and Writing Activities.

    -My School’s A Zoo! by Stu Smith
    -The Boy Who Loved Words by Roni Schotter
    -Each Kindness by Jacqueline Woodson
    -Spaghetti in a Hot Dog Bun by Maria Dismondy
    -True Story of The Three Little Pigs by Jon Scieszka
    -I Wanna Iguana by Karen Kaufman Orloff
    -Postcards from Pluto by Loreen Leedy
    -Why Mosquitos Buzz in People’s Ears by Verna Aardema
    -Last Stop on Market Street by Matt de la Pena
    -Chicken Sunday by Patricia Polacco

    Please look at the preview to see what is included! Every mentor text “set” of activities includes the “What Do You Think?” page for context application and the “Show What You Know” page to formatively assess students. The other activities vary based on the text and the vocabulary words.

    There are open-ended activities and ideas provided that can be used with any words, and I encourage you to incorporate past words in with the current words using these formats for frequent repetition.

    *****************************************************************************
    WHAT ELSE DO I NEED?

    There is a Mentor Sentence Unit with all of the same mentor texts featured in this pack. You can also get the Interactive Language Arts Notebook Companion for the mentor sentences!

    You’ll also love to use these mentor texts in reading and writing, too! Make sure to get BETTER THAN BASAL: Complete NO PREP Reading & Writing Units for 40 Popular Mentor Texts!

    *****************************************************************************
    DO YOU LOVE TO SAVE MONEY?

    If you want to get all of the sets now to save money, you can buy the BUNDLE FOR THE WHOLE YEAR!

    *****************************************************************************
    Please remember, this purchase is for the use of one teacher. It is not intended to be shared. Please use the ‘additional license’ purchase if more than one teacher will be using it. Thank you!

🐢The unit I created for this one aligns life science (ecosystems, and classifying and describing animals) with shared research, using text and pictures to learn, as well as writing with vivid verbs and prepositions!
