Adding Word Parts

Use the most frequently occurring inflections and affixes (e.g., -ed, -s, re-, un-, pre-, -ful, -less) as a clue to the meaning of an unknown word.

In one of several learning songs, students will learn about the plural forms of common things and objects, like hats, cats, and dogs.

Let's Make Categories

Sort common objects into categories (e.g., shapes, foods) to gain a sense of the concepts the categories represent.

A Dr. Seuss classic, Cat in the Hat, helps students find and sort different types of objects into the borrowing truck. 

Opposites

Demonstrate understanding of frequently occurring verbs and adjectives by relating them to their opposites (antonyms).

In an engaging game called Jungle Racers, students can choose a character and a vehicle and race their friends by finding the opposites of words along the track.

How to Use Words

Identify real-life connections between words and their use (e.g., note places at school that are colorful).

With the help of The Bazillions, students can learn along with an engaging song called ‘Wide Open World of Adjectives.’

Similar Action Words

Distinguish shades of meaning among verbs describing the same general action (e.g., walk, march, strut, prance) by acting out the meanings.

In one of several interactive games, students will work with Unicorn Magic to identify action words that are similar in meaning.
