Using the Book

Where would we be without words? Its hard to imagine. Words are a
basic building block of communication, and a strong vocabulary is an
essential part of reading, writing, and speaking well. The purpose of this
book is to help young learners expand the number of words they know
and the ways in which they use them. Although 240 vocabulary words
are introduced, many more words and meanings are woven into the
books 24 lessons.
Learning new words is not just about encountering them; its about
using, exploring, and thinking about them. So the lessons in this book
are organized around different aspects and attributes of wordshow
words are formed using prefixes and suffixes, synonyms, antonyms,
verbs, adjectives, homophones, homonyms, compound words, key
content area vocabulary, and more.
Tips
Youll find a complete
alphabetized list of all the lesson
words on page 78.
As you introduce the lessons,
have the following items
available: beginning dictionaries
and thesauruses, and writing
notebooks or journals in which
students can record words and
use them in sentences.

Tips for Using

the Lessons
Consider having students fill
out Word Inventory Sheets

before each lesson. The headings
for such a sheet might be: Words
I Know, Words I Have Seen but
Dont Really Know; New Words.
Students can list the vocabulary
words and probable meanings
under the headings. As the
lesson proceeds they can make
revisions and additions.
Each page in every three-part
lesson uses all ten vocabulary

words. The exercises on most of
the pages use each vocabulary
word once. Encourage students
to think about the best word
to complete a sentence or to
answer each question.
Some words have more than
one meaning, including some

not given in the lesson. You may
want to point out additional
meanings or invite students to
discover them independently.
