Vocabulary is Powerful (VIP) (stolen from second grade)

If you are interested giving your students extra vocabulary practice, I created some study card sets at [|Cramberry]. Register for free and I will share the card sets with you. Your students could practice independently or with partners. They could make examples or "icons" for the class word wall. So far there are PSSA related math cards for the 5/6 grade level.

Tired of the Frayer model for vocabulary instruction? These [|vocabulary organizers] may add a little variety to your vocabulary studies. You could have your students use them for self selected vocab in your lit. circles and have them teach the word to the class. You could use them for content area vocab and have partners teach the vocab for the unit of study to the class using the organizer!
