V for Vocabulary

This week's topic is Phonics/Word Study. We all know how important developing an expansive vocabulary is for our students. Vocabulary is a huge emphasis of Common Core and our new state (Illinois) exams, PARCC.

A few months ago we discovered a wonderful new site, Flocabulary. Flocabulary is a great source for building vocabulary. Flocabulary presents vocabulary in fun rap-like video formats that really seem to speak to the students both young and old. They have videos for every grade level building vocabulary in almost every subject area.

We also have some fun Superhero Vocabulary Card Posters available in our store. These bright and cheerful printables help expand students' vocabulary by suggested synonyms for commonly overused words. Download the preview for a free page! * Side note: everything on our Tpt store is at least 20% off!

What do you like to use to teach vocabulary?
