6. Then ask students to suggest other
interesting words from the poem. Put
these in the third column. Make a word
wall for these words. Instruct students to
be on the lookout for additional -ow (as
in crow) words to add to the word wall
during the week. You and the students
can read the words on the chart in
unison, by taking turns (boys, girls, by shirt
color, table number, etc.), in a whisper
or silly voice, or by echo-reading. As
students become familiar with the words,
start reading in different places on the
chart to encourage looking at the words
and not just reciting them from memory.
7. Direct students to page 4 in the Guided
Practice Book for additional work with
the poem. Depending on students’
needs, work with the class or a small
group, or have students work with
partners to complete the activity.

this lesson, and sometimes sounds like
cow. Then reread the poem line by line.
At the end of each line, ask students
to identify the -ow words (as in crow).
Underline these words.
4. Make a chart with three columns. Label
the columns with the following titles: -ow

Standards and Correlations
The No Child Left Behind legislation
mandates that all states adopt academic
standards that identify the skills students
will learn in kindergarten through grade 12.
While many states had already adopted
academic standards prior to NCLB, the
legislation set requirements to ensure the
standards were detailed and comprehensive.
Standards are designed to focus instruction
and guide adoption of curricula. Standards
are statements that describe the criteria
necessary for students to meet specifi c
academic goals. They defi ne the knowledge,
skills, and content students should acquire
at each level. Standards are also used
to develop standardized tests to evaluate
students’ academic progress.
In many states today, teachers are required
to demonstrate how their lessons meet state
standards. State standards are used in
the development of all of our products, so
educators can be assured that they meet
the academic requirements of each state.
Teacher Created Materials is committed to
producing educational materials that are
research and standards based. In this effort,
we have correlated all of our products to
the academic standards of all 50 states, the
District of Columbia, and the Department of
Defense Dependent Schools. You can print
a correlation report customized for your state
from our website at http://www.tcmpub.com.
If you require assistance in printing
correlation reports, please contact Customer
Service at 1-800-858-7339.
Teacher Created Materials uses the Mid-
continent Research for Education and
Learning (McREL) Compendium to create
standards correlations. Each year, McREL
analyzes state standards and revises the
compendium. By following this procedure,
they are able to produce a general
compilation of national standards.
Each lesson in this book is based on one or
more McREL content standards. The chart
on the following page shows the McREL
standards that correlate to each lesson.

Tips for Implementation
1. Keep the instructional goals in mind.Building Vocabulary has two broad goals: 1) to increase students’ knowledge of words, particularly those words they need to be successful in school and; 2) to deepen their knowledge about words so that students have strategies to fi gure out the meaning of many new words on their own. 2. Make sure to read the “Teacher Notes” section for each new lesson.
This section provides the background information you need to teach the lesson. In levels one and two a list of words for each word family is provided. In levels three and up, information is given to help teach Greek and Latin roots. The teacher notes section provides a wealth of interesting information and ideas for you to use with students. Each week there are also suggestions for differentiating instruction to meet the needs of all learners. It is important for children to feel successful, so use the suggestions and feel free to adapt them to meet your students’ needs.3. Develop regular routines with activities that scaffold increasingly independent learning. Although the program gives day-to-day activities in a quick and regular routine, you should feel free to modify or adapt the program to meet your own particular instructional needs. The key is to make your instruction a regular routine that gets students to think deeply about the word families or roots. Plan to spend 10-15 minutes each day on vocabulary.
4. Try to fi nd time for students to explore words with others. Many of the activities in “Building Vocabulary” can be completed with partners or in small groups. Some specifi cally invite students to work together. When students complete an assignment with others, they have a chance to try out new words and talk about how they “work.” Remember that games like “Wordo” and “Word Spokes” are not just fun––they are good instruction!
5. Keep the learning outcomes in mind. By the end of the program, your students’ should have 1) learned the meaning of some of the most common word roots in the English language; 2) understood how to apply those meanings to “divide and conquer” unfamiliar words; 3) deepened their “word awareness.” Above all, we hope your students will have become independent word sleuths and lifelong word lovers! 6. Keep the focus on thinking about the roots or word families, not on memorizing particular words.
Students need to become convinced that they have knowledge and processes to fi gure out the meanings of words. Roots can help here because prefi xes and bases represent familiar concepts (un = not; pre = before; graph = write). Word families help students see spelling patterns for many words. As students fi gure out the meaning of new words, ask them “What do you think? Why?” rather than “What’s the right answer?” Remember that the most effective way to teach vocabulary is not through mindless repetition or memorization.

Parts A and C (Let’s Read)—You and the students enjoy shared reading activities through poems that introduce new word families, roots, or compounds. As you read each poem aloud, you model fluent reading. After choral, echo, and/or antiphonal (students divided into groups) reading, you lead a whole-group discussion that highlights the new word families, roots, or compounds. You and the students also generate lists of words, from the poems and elsewhere, that contain the word families, roots, or compounds of focus.
Parts B and D (Let’s Play with Words)— You and the students review the poems, and then you guide students as they play with words, scaffolding their understanding through think-alouds and other activities, such as Making and Writing Words, Word Sort, Word Scramble, Riddle Time, Divide and Conquer, and Wordo.
Part E (Let’s Grow)—The students will enjoy teacher-led word games as they review the words and concepts for the week.
How to Use This Program
The following provides a more detailed overview of the various components of this program, including the differentiated, five-part lessons, the Assessment section, the Teacher Resources section, and the Teacher Resource CD. Each component offers support for the entire program, making students’ word learning meaningful and fun.
Lesson Overview:Each lesson in the Teacher’s Guide contains Teacher Notes that include a list of grade-appropriate words for the word families studied in that lesson. The Guided Practice section provides minis of the corresponding student book pages for your reference. The Differentiation section points you to the notes provided at the beginning of each unit that outline differentiation suggestions for the classroom; this allows you to adjust the lessons to meet the needs of all your students, including below-level students, above-level students, and English language learners. Parts of lessons are labeled A through E. Parts A and C are similar, except that they focus on different word families, roots, or compounds. Likewise, Parts B and D are similar. Part E is based on both word families, roots, or compounds presented in the weekly lesson. (Read on for more detailed explanations of each lesson part.) The focus of all lessons is on helping students master common word families, roots, and compounds so that they can, in turn, use this knowledge to decode unfamiliar words. Overhead transparencies are included for each lesson to assist you with classroom instruction and practice (see Teacher Resources section for transparencies).

1. For this activity, duplicate the word cardsthat are found in the Teacher Resourcessection and on the Teacher Resource CD. Make one sheet for each student.Read the words to them, and ask themto read the words with you. Then askstudents to cut the word cards apart.With these, students can: • Play Memory (in partners) • Play Go Fish (in groups of three orfour). Deal out seven cards to eachplayer. Put the remaining cards inthe middle of the group. The personwhose turn it is can ask someoneelse for a word that starts the sameor has the same word family. If theother person has this card, it shouldbe given to the student who askedfor it. If not, the student who askedis told to “go fish” (i.e., to take a cardfrom the middle). Two of a kind (e.g.,two words that start the same, twowords with same word family) can beput down on the table if the studentcan read them. The student whohas all cards on the table first is thewinner.

Unit I Diphthongs and R-Controlled Vowels
Differentiation Strategies for Unit IAbove Level Support
• Have students conduct word hunts for diphthongs and r-controlled vowels. Theycan search for the words in stories, books, or poems of their choice. Students canwrite the words on index cards, chart paper, or in writing journals.
• Give students multisyllabic words that contain diphthongs and r-controlled vowels.

6. Then ask students to suggest other interesting words from the poem. Put these in the third column. Make a word wall for these words. Instruct students to be on the lookout for additional -ow (as in crow) words to add to the word wall during the week. You and the students can read the words on the chart in unison, by taking turns (boys, girls, by shirt color, table number, etc.), in a whisper or silly voice, or by echo-reading. As students become familiar with the words, start reading in different places on the chart to encourage looking at the words and not just reciting them from memory.
7. Direct students to page 4 in the Guided Practice Book for additional work with the poem. Depending on students’ needs, work with the class or a small group, or have students work with partners to complete the activity.

Then reread the poem line by line. At the end of each line, ask students to identify the -ow words (as in crow). Underline these words.
4. Make a chart with three columns. Label the columns with the following titles: -ow words from the poem, other -ow words, and interesting words from the poem. Put the -ow words from the poem in the first column. Ask students to spell them as you write them on the chart.
