IntroductionThe Academic Vocabulary Practice SeriesResearch shows that a firm knowledge of academic vocabulary is one of the strongest indicators of a student’s success in the content areas. Academic Vocabulary Practice is a series that provides students with the resources they need to build crucial vocabulary skills for success in school. The series promotes and supports literacy in the content areas: math, science, technology, language arts, social studies, geography, and art. The reproducible pages are designed to give students extra practice using academic vocabulary. These word lists focus on subject-specific words that often challenge students because they may rarely encounter these words in everyday use.

The books align with Common Core State Standards by offering systematic practice and usage of many of the academic and domain-specific words and phrases. Teaching vocabulary to meet the Common Core State Standards is an essential component of any standards-based curriculum.

Reproducible Pages in This BookThis book presents 200+ subject-specific words that are organized by content area. Ample opportunity is given to help students learn and connect with the vocabulary in a variety of ways.

• The Vocabulary Four Square on page 4 is an essential organizer that helps students learn new words by stating word meanings in their own words, drawing pictures to represent the words, engaging with peers in word discussions, and creating context for words.

• The Explore a Word activities let students focus on one word at a time to create associations.

• The Compare Words activities show students how two or more related words are alike and different in meaning.

• The Make Connections pages help students understand the relationships between words that are commonly presented together.

• The Play with Words activities provide review in a more playful but effective learning format.

Special FeaturesThe Game Ideas and Suggestions section includes ideas for the flash cards (offered online) and game templates for small group or whole group activities. The Student Dictionary pages are organized by content area and support the activity pages in each section.

Online Support To further enhance student learning, a full set of the 200+ vocabulary words are available in flash card format online at activities.carsondellosa.com. These will provide opportunities for additional practice and other peer activities.
