Basic Vocabulary Series

Use this engaging series to teach basic vocabulary words with reproducible activities, which improve students’ reading skills. Throughout this two-book series (150-180 pages each), students read and learn specific vocabulary words. Reproducible activities, often with illustrations, are presented in multiple formats to help students with different learning styles. Each book features age-appropriate activities. Written for students who need to practice their reading skills.

BOOK 1—Includes seven units. Covers basic vocabulary words with activities written at a low reading level (between 2.5-3.5). The first unit, Vocabulary Words, includes lessons on the most basic “real-world” words that students encounter. The six remaining units are Context Clues, Compound Words, Synonyms and Antonyms, Homophones, Multiple Meanings, and Base Words.

BOOK 2—Includes six units, with activities and vocabulary words at a higher reading level (about 3.5-4.5) than those presented in book 1. The six units include: Context Clues, Compound Words, Synonyms and Antonyms, Homophones and Homographs, Multiple Meanings, and Base Words/Suffixes/Prefixes.

PROGRESS CHARTS—Each of the units in the books include a progress chart, listing all of the words covered in the unit. Charts provide a tool for teachers to track students’ progress in acquiring and correctly using vocabulary words addressed in each unit.

ASSESSMENTS—Every unit, except the first unit called Vocabulary Words in book one, concludes with an assessment sheet. Assessments measure students’ mastery of vocabulary words and skills by the end of each unit.

EACH BOOK INCLUDES Over 100 reproducible activity sheets, a Word List with useful page references of all words covered, a Parent or Guardian Letter, an Answer Key, and more.
