WHY As the research shows, rote vocabulary memorization doesn’t work. Memorizing words doesn’t teach students how to use the words correctly. Students need to explore word meanings and encounter words in contexts that are meaningful to them. That’s why Vocabulary Explorations presents words in contexts relevant to students’ lives and teaches students to think critically about word meanings and usage.
HOW This engaging, research-based series contains chapter objectives and mini-lessons that focus instruction. Mini-lessons cover standards-based topics such as Greek and Latin word parts, words from mythology and foreign languages, new words added to English, learning words from context, literal and figurative uses of words, connotation and denotation, and more! Mini-lessons are followed by vocabulary lists (33 lists per book) and high-interest activities involving speaking, writing, and listening. Review exercises and extension activities provide reinforcement. The series also features Word Master Mike, our lovable cartoon guy who uses the vocabulary words to tell students about his life (in school, with his crush, and more).
