Description
Are your students constantly asking you for the same word spellings or word meanings over and over? These interruptions can really slow down your classroom and most students won’t retain the words you give them anyway. You need a way for students to find their own word meanings and spellings and have them retain the knowledge they have gained.
My Personal Word Book Level B is a handbook for young authors to help them develop their very own personalized dictionary, thesaurus, and reference book. In fact, you could think of this resource as a student’s very own personal, portable “word wall”. This, unique, time-tested, 64-page, fully illustrated in full-colour student book provides ample space for students to add their own words for writing reference, saving you from having to answer the same questions over and over. The book also provides extensive alphabetical word lists but that just scratches the surface.
My Personal Word Book Level B has thematic list words dealing with woodland animals, the classroom, colours, vegetables, fruits, parts of the body, seasonal clothing, mathematics, science, technology, common homophones, seasons, months, and days, and common contractions. There are engaging writing activities such as Using Suffixes to Build Words, Traits of Good Writing, Using the Writing Process, and Using a Writing Portfolio. Plus, there are student resources for using word banks for story writing, a story planner, using a thesaurus, maintaining a personal writing record, and learning to use non-sexist language. We’ve also included activities for word families, a cursive writing model, and tips on how to study new words. If that weren’t enough, we’ve included several word puzzles such as: Rhyme Time, Exploding Words, Super Synonyms, Hide and Seek, Build It, Write It, Draw It, and Think of Two.
