Vocab. Review

by Morganne

Mar 27, 2011

Hi, everyone!

I was wondering if any of you play any fun vocab review games with your students?

I have sophomores who enjoy playing review games, and it helps them remember the words, but I want to change it up a bit.

Any ideas?

Dianne Conelly I recently discovered an online program called LearnThatWord, that has this new concept of only charging when students learn something. The program itself is free, and you get a deposit of credits (100 credits - school, 5 credits - each student) for an extended trial.

It's very cool, because it keeps track of what each student knows and p...See More

Vocabulary and Fluency

by Bryan Orangewood

Apr 18, 2011

About two weeks ago I started using a game with my 4/5 combo kids called Flash Fluency 10-10-10. It's a reading game, but all of the words are made up from sight words and academic vocabulary. I'm using it a couple of different ways, one the way the authors intended, but a second way is have the kids highlight words that they are unfamiliar with. S...See More

Game for vocabulary

by NJ/4th

May 10, 2011

Balderdash is a board game for adults and children. The idea of the game is to create definitions for strange, unknown vocabulary words. I'm teaching my students the game this week. Next week they'll apply it when I introduce new vocabulary words. This is a classic game and works well in a Language Arts classroom.

Red words

by Phonics First

Jun 5, 2011

Anyone use Phonics First and teach the red word vocab for words without a regular spelling. Often kids do not know what these mean either.

Check Anita Archer out...

by K. Fair

Jun 18, 2011

I would encourage primary teachers to google YouTube for Anita Archer videos. She has a clip of herself teaching new vocabulary to first grade students. The method could be used K-3. I'm fortunate in that my county office purchased a complete set of her teaching videos. She is awesome!
