How To Innovate Novel Vocabulary Words

Today is a Tuesday.

But it feels similar a Mon since nosotros didn't own got schoolhouse yesterday.

And on Mondays I innovate the weekly vocabulary words {per the Treasures Reading Curriculum} thence since today was pseudo-Monday nosotros did that. 

I wasn't quite prepared for the reaction I got when I announced it was fourth dimension to innovate the novel vocabulary words.

There were cheers. Lots of cheers. Because they thought nosotros would hold upwardly skipping it this calendar week since it is business office of our Mon routine as well as it doesn't own got long for my niggling charges to love routines similar I do.

I discovered today that they genuinely relish my vocabulary routine.

They scream back it is fun as well as similar a game as well as they were pitiable at the thought of missing it. Who knew?

Anyhow since it appears to hold upwardly such a crowd pleaser I wanted to portion it amongst yous thence your children tin post away also experience the joy of learning novel words.

I start past times showing as well as reading a judgement that provides context clues to the word, but tell "blank" inwards house of the word.




Today's showtime judgement was, "She grew upwardly inwards a ____ past times the school."

Then I own got five "guesses" at what the give-and-take could be. I dear this business office because it genuinely reinforces both the importance of context clues inwards reading as well as models how to write sentences that include context clues. I also usage this chance to beak most aspects of grammer that play a purpose inwards what the give-and-take could be.

Sometimes 1 of the five words is the right word, but I e'er own got five guesses thence that nosotros tin post away practise the to a higher house skills. 

If the give-and-take was non identified, I as well as then write the showtime missive of the alphabet as well as they endeavor to figure it out.

Next, I describe inwards lines to stand upwardly for the other letters. We beak most the length of the word. If it's a longer give-and-take nosotros beak most how it most probable has to a greater extent than than 1 syllable which agency it has to a greater extent than than 1 vowel.

Then I start adding inwards 1 missive of the alphabet at a fourth dimension until it is either figured out or spelled out for them.

At that indicate I indicate out features. In the instance inwards the photograph I talked most how the "long a" was genuinely spelled "eigh." 

I read the Definition from the mass as well as and then enquire a inquiry that helps them connect to the give-and-take as well as brand sense of it. In this instance the inquiry was "What are roughly exceptional places inwards your neighborhood?"

Rather than only enquire 1 pupil to respond, I own got them all response each inquiry amongst a talking partner. Sometimes I as well as then enquire 1 or 2 friends to share, but non always.

And that's that.

After the words are introduced I plug them into my an activity from my Activities to Use With Any Words packet as well as other times I own got them write sentences that usage context clues that tell the pregnant of the word.

Do yous learn vocabulary? Do yous own got whatever tips, tricks or ideas yous desire to share?
