Description
Class Experience
This course is appropriate for advanced 3rd graders, and on-pace 4th through 6th graders. Students are exposed to about 10-15 new words per week. This method of teaching vocabulary and spelling goes beyond the traditional approach of simply assigning words for the week and was created with well-grounded research on what students need to develop a rich vocabulary. Students are not wasting classtime by writing down definitions! This class teaches vocab and spelling through conversation,...
•Focuses on making connections between new vocabulary and personal experiences, rather than simply memorizing a list of generic definitions and words. •Allows students several opportunities to play with words and their meanings, thinking deeply about how words can change meanings based on the context in which they appear. •Teaches students to notice word meanings and how those meanings impact the overall message of a text or oral conversation. Students learn spelling word patterns •Helps students understand the value of having a rich vocabulary.
