Vocabulary Virtuoso: Primary Vocabulary for Academic Success Gr. 2-3
This 224-page book uses lessons to teach 180 words that second and third grade students should know for reading, writing, and standardized tests. Each lesson includes a story involving elementary school students that introduces geography skills such as maps and landforms and creative writing skills such as symbols and poetry.
Each lesson contains definitions, pronunciation keys, parts of speech, and alternate choices for each word made up of synonyms, idioms, and/or phrases. Students complete a variety of exercises requiring critical reading and writing skills to contextualize the words. The exercises use other forms of the words as different parts of speech, so that students learn to recognize these forms as variations of the original words—further expanding their vocabulary and enabling them to use the words in more contexts.
This book emphasizes the correct spelling of the vocabulary words with a Jumble activity that ask students to unscramble the word before writing the correct spelling to match the definition.
