Create YouTube grammar and vocabulary quizzes

Includes videos on new vocab words

Before we begin, let's lay some groundwork. Vocabulary (or word study) isn't done in a vacuum. You don't pass out lists and have students memorize words and definitions (you don't do that, do you?). If you used to, that's changed with Common Core. Now, you are expected to integrate vocab into learning. Every time students run into a term they don't get, you need to pause and help them decode it. It may be obvious from context, its parts (roots and affixes), but always-always-pay attention so students know unfamiliar words are not skipped. With Common Core, every nuance is important. It's about uncovering knowledge.

Free service makes it easy to generate vocabulary lists from any digital text. The Vocab Grabber creates a word cloud of the most frequently used words in that pasted digital text. Click on any of the words in the word cloud to see the definition.

A page linked to Spellingcity.com provides word lists and spelling games to helps kids learn new vocab.
