Basic Vocabulary Series Binder 1

The Basic Vocabulary Series, by author Kristine Lindsay, teaches basic vocabulary words with reproducible activities, which improve students' reading skills. Throughout this two-binder 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 binder features age-appropriate activities. Written for students who need to practice their reading skills.

Features

Basic Vocabulary Series Binder 1 includes seven units that cover basic vocabulary words with activities written at a low reading level, between 2.5-3.5. Vocabulary Words is the first unit in binder one, including lessons on the most basic "real-world" words that students encounter.

Basic Vocabulary Series Binder 2 includes a total of six units with activities and vocabulary words at a higher reading level (about 3.5-4.5) than those presented in binder one. Six units in both binders introduce one skill each (see "Skills" below).

Skills

Each unit covers one of the following skills in fun activities: Context Clues, Compound Words, Synonyms and Antonyms, Homophones, Multiple Meanings, and Base Words.

Progress Charts

Each of the units in the binders 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 binder one, concludes with an assessment sheet. Assessments measure students' mastery of vocabulary words and skills by the end of each unit.

Each Binder 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.
