My Project
Students need the knowledge of using actually dictionaries and thesauri for vocabulary acquisition and spelling.
Too often students "Google" definitions, synonyms and antonyms for unknown words.
At the same time, students are "stuck" when the chrome books are not readily available. I am seeking classroom reference materials that can be used in small group instruction to explicitly teach students:
--how to use a dictionary--even when you can't spell the word;
--determine a word's root/etymology;
-- identify a word's synonyms and antonyms
Having an accessible reference section in our classroom will empower students to actively expand their vocabulary and take ownership of their learning.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
