Are you looking to make your literacy instruction more engaging and memorable? Are you looking for a vocabulary resource that covers the full range of words and vocabulary skills prescribed by the standards? Look no further! These books provide ready-made, cooperative activities for grammar, spelling & parts of speech: multiple meaning words, Greek and Latin affixes and roots, synonyms, antonyms, homophones, collective plural nouns, irregular pronouns, compound words, adjectives, adverbs, verbs, commonly misused words, and academic vocabulary. Each section includes 20 grade-appropriate spelling/vocabulary words. To master the words in each section, there are five ready-to-do activities based on Kagan Structures. Students quiz classmates using Mix-N-Match and Quiz-Quiz-Trade. Teams use and practice their vocabulary as they play Fan-N-Pick and Showdown. Partners take turns completing vocabulary worksheets using RallyCoach and Sage-N-Scribe. Students put their new vocabulary words to work as they write and share their writing using Think-Write-RoundRobin. Pick and choose a few activities per section, or use them all to ensure full mastery for everyone. This is everything you need for a highly engaging literacy program that covers the full range of grammar, spelling & vocabulary words and skills.
