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.

This article provides a seven step approach to spelling instruction that encourages word study based on the words students experience in their daily writing activities. It focuses on shifting spelling instruction from a focus on the number of words spelled correctly to developing an understanding of how words work.

I also enjoyed this article! I feel like the strategies they list under principle 3 I can use with my student. I also like the games they listed under principle 6. I feel like the games are fun and also beneficial to the students because it will help them develop their spelling.

I love this article. Spelling is so much more than memorizing and the author is right when she says that the words the student don't master on Friday are forgotten by Monday. That is why we work on blends, digraphs, onsets, and rimes. I also love the part about how spelling affects self-esteem and vocabulary as well. Awesome information!

This article really got me thinking about spelling and how it affects a students writing confidence. I like how it is an analyzing of words approach rather than just memorization. I think the chart fort student analyzing could be useful but I might change the wording to be more kid friendly.
