What Resources Can I Use When Teaching Vocabulary Lesson Plans?

Learning vocabulary can be tedious for students because it often involves memorization of definitions. Nonetheless, vocabulary lesson plans can improve students' reading comprehension and test scores. When you're teaching vocabulary, you may want to use the following resources.

A vocabulary word map, like this one from Reading Quest, can help your students work deeply with vocabulary words. By filling out a word map, students not only have to look up the definition, but they have to come up with synonyms and antonyms and write a sentence using the word.
Your students can practice vocabulary by completing word puzzles, which you can make for free with the Puzzlemaker tool.
You can also create vocabulary lesson plans using the list of roots, prefixes and suffixes provided by BetterEndings.org. When you teach students about parts of words, they can use that knowledge to figure out the meaning of new, unfamiliar words.
