Word Integration at Its Best

It’s not just about learning new words but also about using them! Word of the Week encourages students to sprinkle these magical words into their writing, conversation, and even while reading their favorite books. 

We don’t want our students to become passive learners of words. Our goal is to help them weave these new words into the activities and conversations they take part in! It helps them to go from acquiring the vocab to applying it in real-world situations!

Word integration is easy when you use these word integration activities in your daily lessons.

As they become more comfortable, your students (readers, writers, conversationalists) will discover how powerful words can be when expressing themselves. Their confidence and excitement heighten when they uncover one of these words while reading or conversing with someone. They’re like lightbulb moments or ah-ha moments because they can better understand what is being said!

Effortless Integration into Your Busy Schedule

Here’s the cherry on top: implementing Word of the Week activities is as easy as pie! I understand that your schedule as a teacher is often packed to the brim with lessons, activities, and responsibilities.

Implementing word of the week activities is easy when you can break up your weeks into manageable lists like these.

Believe it or not, sprinkling this word magic into your lessons takes only 10 minutes a day.  Think about it – just a short coffee break’s worth of time can help your students grow in confidence when it comes to new vocabulary! No need for complex planning, never-ending preparation, or late-night adjustments. Word of the Week effortlessly weaves vocabulary enrichment into your existing schedule.

This resource will enhance your teaching experience and make vocabulary expansion a natural and enjoyable part of your classroom routine.
