Weekly Vocabulary Enrichment for 6,7 & 8

We are utilizing a new vocabulary series this year: Vocabulary Achievement. Students will be expected to complete one vocabulary lesson per week. Lessons are checked in class on Tuesdays; credit will be given. Students will be tested bi-weekly on two lessons. Lessons are formatted thematically - each lesson focuses on a theme or group of words related to a specific topic. There are flashcards in the back of the workbook. I encourage students to cut out the flashcards and utilize them as a study aid. Vocabulary enrichment is an important component of the development of strong reading and writing skills.
