Teacher Tip

As I started to notice my students feeling overwhelmed or overburdened when given a new set of weekly vocabulary words, we made a slight adjustment to how the words were distributed.  Instead of having a list of 20+ words given to my class and routine exercises, we use what I call a ”four accomplishments a day” method. 

Four new words are introduced daily and the student can write or type the correct spelling of the word, what they think it means, the actual definition, and state what it means in their own words after learning the true definition.  This is done to encourage higher level thinking skills within the classroom. 

Enjoy,
