When I was preparing for the 2018-2019 academic year, I was worried about how I would teach vocabulary. I didn’t like what I did last year and I didn’t feel like my students were participating in vocabulary instruction. A friend recommended reading “Word Nerds: Teaching All Students to Learn and Love Words” by Brenda J. Overturf, Leslie H. Montgomery, and Margot Holmes Smith.
This book quickly became a dream for my studies. I was on a boat. I decided to follow a good tutorial (really, read it!) and get on with my class.

As mentioned above, last year I decided to try this method of teaching vocabulary. I had a hard time sticking to the schedule. It took me a long time to think of the words I would teach him, to write flashcards with each of its definitions and antonyms, and to come up with cloze sentences to introduce the main words. I quickly lost my breath and went back to what I had done years ago to teach vocabulary.

I’ve created a 2nd grade vocabulary list for 3rd graders ready to use this summer for a full year of 20 units. I can’t wait to use it in my classroom this year. I know it will make it easier to stick to the daily vocabulary lessons!

-> The word screen is divided into small, sequential parts. Each set works on 13-14 words at a time
. Words are repeated on each slide, so children have to read/hunt for that word 2 times, which gives them more practice making words. Since sight words are something you will repeat throughout the year, I created 2 versions of each set. This way you have 2 games to play for each part of the word.
