Vocabulary Workshops

Words at Work

Teachers appreciate the “make & take” part of this workshop that makes it possible to leave the training and immediately introduce three dynamic literacy centers: Word Webs, Poetry Words, and Breadcrumbing. In addition to the construction and operation of these centers, Alice Nine shows teachers how to incorporate the work done in these centers into student writing. These three centers support practice with multiple meaning words, figures of speech, and word associations. Dictionaries and graphic organizers are used as students brainstorm, confer, organize, and evaluate with a partner. Center activities are easily modified for whole group learning situations. Targeted grades: 2-5. Read More

Vocabulary Builders

Experience easy to do activities that develop critical word-learning strategies–word chunking, word connections, use of context clues, and dictionary skills. These activities are brain-based alternatives to worksheets. Students can work in small groups, pairs, or individually. Activities work well not only for language arts, but also for other core subjects. This workshop is customized according to grade levels taught by participants, grades 3-12. Read More
