Vocabulary Think Board
This Think Board helps visualise students’ vocabulary knowledge. Simply provide a word list relevant to the needs of your class and work through the quarters as needed. Each quarter focuses on a particular vocabulary building strategy including:
- Use the word in a sentence
- Draw a picture
- List synonyms
- Define the word
A flexible resource for your lower primary classroom.
Provide a word list based on the needs of your students in a whole class, group or individual setting.
