Vocabulary and Spelling – Level 1. A book that provides in-depth language arts instruction to enrich students’ skills development beyond the level of meeting the standards.
Vocabulary and Spelling – Level 1
Vocabulary & Spelling offers meaningful ways to incorporate word study into the language arts classroom. Vocabulary & Spelling presents thirty-two lessons, designed to be used weekly, that cover a broad range of topics from etymology to context clues to spelling patterns. These lessons are aligned with the units of the Mirrors & Windows: Connecting with Literature program and may be used alone or as supplements to the Vocabulary & Spelling workshops in the Student Edition. Each lesson incorporates words from selections in the corresponding unit of the textbook.
By using these lessons in conjunction with the literature program, you will help your students become better readers, writers, speakers, and spellers. Each lesson in Vocabulary & Spelling includes the following components:
• A Word of the Week, selected from the corresponding textbook unit, highlights a word that students may find particularly meaningful or interesting.
• Grammar instruction on one or more topics is followed by a Try It Yourself section that allows students to practice what they are learning.
• Just For Fun activities encourage students to play with words, reminding them that language can be fun and interesting.
• Tip boxes in the margin throughout the lesson clarify definitions, offer additional information, and give helpful suggestions.
• A Time Out for Test Practice at the end of each unit provides students with the opportunity to assess what they have learned and to practice test-taking skills by answering sample standardized test questions in a multiple-choice format. It is essential that vocabulary instructions include a variety of strategies to develop students’ word-study skills.
Lessons in Vocabulary & Spelling provide many different ways of exploring and studying words, word parts, semantic families, and spelling patterns and rules. Activating students’ prior knowledge of words and of essential concepts related to words helps students make associations between new terms and words they already know.
The activities in Vocabulary & Spelling will help you actively engage students in working with words. As their curiosity about word exploration grows, your students will become increasingly confident in their ability to attack, learn, and experiment with new words.
