Vocab, and...oh, yeah, Winners!

How do you teach vocabulary in your classroom?

I'm sure most of us have a "program" or something that came with our reading/LA resources, and I have something like that, too.

Our district uses Storytown, and though I like many features of this resource, I seriously feel like the "robust vocabulary" part is lacking.

Therefore, I have taken it upon myself to create some vocabulary lessons to use through quality children's literature. It's taking some time, but I hope to have the whole year planned out by the end of the month! I'm actually using many of the words that Storytown suggests, but I've adapted them to fit literature that is important to me, and I can "get behind", so to speak.
The stories that anthology uses are, well, not always quality.

I love how it incorporates learning targets with vocab!

The vocab words are pictured on the clipboards below the targets table.

The originator, Mrs. Blas, has inspired me to implement something similar into my classroom, but I'll definitely have to play around with it to make it primary kid-friendly.

I would love for you to comment below with vocab suggestions or ideas!
