#1 Frayer Model |
The Frayer Model is a great tool to learn vocabulary. It is a graphic organizer that makes students think about vocabulary in four different ways. Each description of the word is separated into a box with the word nestled in the middle of the graphic organizer. Here's how to use it: 1. Write the vocabulary word in the center. 2. Redefine the term in own words. 3. List some facts or characteristics about the word. 4. Provide examples of the word. 5. Provide non-examples of the word. Example Word: Length Definition: How long something is from one end to the other. Facts/Characteristics: You can measure the length of something with non-standard units, like your hands or with standard units, like a ruler. Examples: The hall is 35 footprints long. You are 10 straws tall. The pencil is six inches long. Non-examples: The picture frame weighs one pound. |

#1 Spelling City |
Spelling City is a website designed to practice spelling vocabulary words or study definitions. If you wanted your child to learn how to spell the words, they could use this site to review the words with flashcards or interactive games. An audio voice uses each word in a sentence. Here is how to use it: 1. Type the words onto the provided list. 2. Select an action button, including Teach Me, Play a Game, Flashcards, or Vocab/Spelling Tests. 3. The words will automatically be incorporated into the games and activities. The reason I chose this site was because it's muti-faceted. Everything is located in one place. You don't need to go looking for paper and pencil to write the words down. You can type the words in and save the list, listen to the words in context, play games with the words like matching words to definitions (called Match It!), and you can test yourself. |
