Product description
From the author
Practicing Wonders Words to Know is often a bit of a boring task for most students. That's why we made it a bit more fun. First of all, you can guide students through the book along with the vocabulary list. Here it shows the part of speech, the word, the definition and an example sentence. This way, students don't even need their books anymore to practice all of the words at home. Another fun element is the word search. This word search is based on the definitions, so the student is not given the correct answer right away. This way, they really have to dig into their memories to come up with the correct answer. After all of the practicing is done, it is time to do the test. You can present this by first giving the definition and then to let the student fill out the correct answer. The second part is a fill in the blanks exercise.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Match a vocabulary word to its definition using part-of-speech and context clues
Use a target vocabulary word correctly to complete a sentence
Build grade-appropriate vocabulary aligned to the Reading Wonders Grade 3 curriculum across 29 weekly sets
Teaching tips
Introduce the vocabulary-word page, with its definitions and example sentences, before assigning the practice page, then read the definitions aloud for Part 1, which provides numbered answer lines
Use the word search as an early-week warm-up and the sentence-completion page as a later check for understanding, since both draw on the same eight words in different formats
Space the 29 weekly sets across the school year to match Reading Wonders Grade 3 pacing, and plan a substitute activity for Unit 3, Week 3, which is not included in this set
