BUILDING VOCABULARY SKILLS
&
STRATEGIES!
INTRODUCTION
We at Saddleback Publishing, Inc. are proud to introduce this
important supplement to your basal language arts curriculum.
Our goal in creating this series was twofold: to help on-level and
below-level students build their “word power” in short incremental
lessons, and to provide you, the teacher, with maximum flexibility
in deciding when and how to assign these exercises.
All lessons are reproducible. That makes them ideal for homework,
extra credit assignments, cooperative learning groups, or focused
drill practice for selected ESL or remedial students. A quick review
of the book’s Table of Contents will enable you to individualize
instruction according to the varied needs of your students.
Correlated to the latest research and current language arts
standards in most states, the instructional design of Building
Vocabulary Skills & Strategies is unusually comprehensive for
a supplementary program. All important concepts—ranging
from primary-level phonics to the nuances of connotation—
are thoroughly presented from the ground up. Traditional word
attack strategies and “getting meaning from context clues” are
dually emphasized.
As all educators know, assessment and evaluation of student
understanding and skill attainment is an ongoing process.
Here again, reproducible lessons are ideal in that they can
be used for both pre- and post-testing. We further suggest
that you utilize the blank back of every copied worksheet
for extra reinforcement of that lesson’s vocabulary; spelling
tests or short writing assignments are two obvious options.
You can use the Scope and Sequence chart at the back of
each book for recording your ongoing evaluations.
