Reinforcement activities include writing definitions, categorizing, matching, answering questions, completing sentences, puzzles, and much more.

Build and improve your students' vocabulary with each of the 24 lessons in this learning unit. Activities introduce and then reinforces 6 to 12 words each. Students are challenged to finish sentences and answer clues using words from the list provided. Both picture clues and cloze procedure are utilized to create an effective program for developing vocabulary in content. Words range from “hammock” and “chopsticks” to “explode” and “lantern.”

Using new words. The activities in this 28-lesson unit give students practice in finding new word meanings and alternate words to use in place of tired, repetitive ones. Examples: - Will a WAVE always get you wet? What else could it do? - On a train, what do you do in a BERTH? Each exercise requires the use of the dictionary. When completed, students should be able to replace worn-out words with more precise synonyms. They will know how to find alternate words in the dictionary, better understand multiple meanings, and maybe even discover a fascination for unusual words, their origin, and meanings.

Word play makes reading fun. The 25 lessons in this unit use all sorts of word challenges to excite students into improving their reading, comprehension, and thinking skills. Synonyms (chef/cook), homonyms (sow/sew), rhyming words (park/lark), flip-flop words (wed/dew), and compound words (bookmark / airplane) are all featured. Context clues and definitions are presented, but there are no word lists. So, students must come up with the solutions to these creative puzzles on their own. Example: Write a rhyming word for each old word that matches the meaning. “Old word: Hedge. Meaning: Border. New word?” “Old word: Date. Meaning: Part of a fence. New word?”
