What is Miss Bindergarten up to now? Joseph Slate's story Miss Bindergarten Stays Home is an excellent resource for budding readers to practice five vocabulary words in context: advise, lesson, lovely, strum, and substitute. As they listen to you read (or read themselves), encourage kids to pay attention to context clues and watch for each term in the text. Use the accompanying comprehension questions, which are unique to each word, to strengthen understanding using outside connections. Don't forget the graphic organizers!
Your classroom may feel like a zoo sometimes, but it's nothing like this! Stu Smith's book My School's a Zoo is an excellent way to introduce some fun vocabulary words in context, and it's available on YouTube in case you don't have it. You'll find an outline to teach four in-text words here: crammed, dreadful, nauseous, and wreaking havoc. Scholars pay attention as you read, raising a hand when they hear one of these words and listening for context clues. Each word has a set of comprehension questions which promote outside connections and solidify word meaning. Check out the graphic organizers for possible homework.

Then, record how quickly and accurately learners can say the list of vocabulary words.
Four weeks of vocabulary words are provided here! Each week has between six and seven vocabulary words for your young learners to master. First they hear each word, and then they get a short definition for each word. The second activity is called "letter soup," and it requires learners to unscramble the list of vocabulary words. To really build comprehension, learners write sentences using each vocabulary word. Finally, the teacher assesses each learner's verbal and reading fluency.
