Don't miss out on these fabulous little books! They encompass so much & as our students say, "They are so much fun!" Learning vocabulary is not boring anymore!
1) Your students will know how to utilize phonics rules to break words apart; helping them to become better readers, as they do not get so frustrated when they come to words that they do not know.
2) Your students will broaden their understanding of more and more vocabulary as they work with prefix, suffix, feelings, and academic vocabulary booklets. (Many more to come.) Hoping we can come up with a years worth of Dot It, Doodle It, Define It booklets to aid student in common use of vocabulary, end of year testing, and becoming well rounded individuals.
3) Learning definitions is not boring anymore, as students discuss and talk among themselves and with their teacher to come up with "kid-friendly" pictures "doodles" to help them remember the word, as well as "kid-friendly" definitions to help them understand the word.
It is truly amazing to see the power that Spot & Dot alone give to kids. Once you start doing it with them, they want to see if they can beat you in attacking the words in text.
One little strategy + Lots of little tricks = A ton of self - esteem to attack long, hard words!!!!!
We will try to publish some pictures of this in motion this week. Pictures of a little video. Stay tuned for more.
