    I really liked this Lauren, thanks for posting! I used WTW at Lincoln, and it worked well. I was wondering how to implement it with older students, and here are some answers!

    I really liked the idea of the digital vocabulary trip. It seems as if it would be very effective to have the students connect words they hear in the reading to the main theme of the book or topic.

    I absolutely love the "combine vocabulary learning and social service" part of this article. The website, freerice.com, is an amazing way to motivate the student to practice their vocabulary. Every time the user gets a vocabulary definition correct the website donates 10 grains of rice through the United Nations World Food Programme! I remember using this years ago when someone posted it to a social media site, and I stayed on it until I'd gotten 600 pieces of rice donated. I definitely want to do this as a fun activity with my student. Thanks for posting this!

    I really like this! Simple, but effective. Could be used to assess the comprehension at the same time that you are building the understanding.

    I like this idea of acting out the story. It would be fun for students while also getting them to think about details from the story. I think it would be a great activity to work on comprehension.

    I really like this idea! I think it would be a good way to get kids moving around and excited about reading! Also a good alternative to assessing comprehension.
