Description

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 2 of VOLUME 1mentor sentences, interactive activities, and Better Than Basal Reading and Writing Activities.

-If You Find a Rock By Peggy Christian
-The Wretched Stone By Chris Van Allsburg
-Knots on a Counting Rope By John Archambault
-How Many Days to America? By Eve Bunting
-Grandpa’s Teeth By Rod Clement
-Owl Moon By Jane Yolen
-Polar Express By Chris Van Allsburg
-Trouble With Trolls By Jan Brett
-The Three Snow Bears By Jan Brett
-Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs By Judi Barrett

★ Activities are also provided as links to Google Slides for Digital Learning! ★

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?
