Vocabulary is an essential part of reading comprehension, and it also happens to be something that students struggle with. If you are a 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade teacher looking for a super quick and easy way to help your students grow their vocabulary skills, check out the vocabulary routines included in this bundle.

This vocabulary bundle is filled with 7 quick-and-easy vocabulary routines that are easy to implement in your classroom. And the best part is that these routines will take you just a few minutes to complete each day.

Each “of the week” routine included in this set follows a similar weekly routine. Once students learn the routine for one of the sets, they will easily pick it up for the others.

• Monday: Students read a short passage or set of sentences that include the word or phrase of the week. Students make a prediction on what they think the word means.
• Tuesday: Students use a reference tool such as a dictionary or thesaurus to look up the meaning of the word/phrase.
• Wednesday – Friday: Students will engage in a variety of activities including drawing symbols, illustrations, looking for synonyms and antonyms, using the word/phrase in a sentence, and a variety of other tasks.

Once students learn the specifics of each routine, they make a great activity for a vocabulary center. Students can complete the tasks independently and with confidence.

Prep is quick and easy… Just print out the student recording sheet each week and display the word of the week on a PPT and you’re all set for a fun and highly engaging vocabulary activity!
