Vocabulary is fundamental to reading!

Reading Group

This reading group is working on vocabulary words.

Every week the kids spend time TALKING about words.  
This might include:
  • looking at pictures that help with the meaning
  • acting out the vocabulary word
  • looking at word parts {prefixes/suffixes} , root word, and context clues
  • drawing pictures to show their meaning
  • using the word in a sentence
  • thinking of synonyms (words that have the same meaning)
  • thinking of antonyms (words that have the opposite meaning)
  • playing vocabulary word games from the connected website
  • etc...
