Your special needs students can make 200 essential vocabulary words theirs for life! And they'll enjoy doing it with these high-interest activities. Ten units cover home, food, family, time, food stores, school, health, community, restaurants, and travel. Each unit presents 20 words through 11 different learning approaches. Students become familiar with the new words - and experience immediate success - by filling in missing letters or finding words in a maze. Then they progress to more challenging activities like decoding messages and rewriting phonetic spellings. By the end of the unit, they're ready to use all 20 words in a story - and in their daily lives! Many of the activities can be done in pairs for increased motivation and reinforcement. Six supplemental activities give students the added incentive of accruing earnings in a 'Word Bank Book' and using them to buy classroom privileges. Updated throughout, this revised edition includes new vocabulary words that reflect current issues and lifestyles. Teaching notes and complete answer keys are included. For children at a third-grade reading level. Softcover, 147 pages. |
