Big Word Club

Vocabulary is so important for our students to be successful! Unfortunately due to the word gap, many of our students do not enter school with the vocabulary needed in order to be successful. This is why it is so important that we insure all of our students are exposed to as much vocabulary as possible!!!

This is where Big Word Club comes in! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PROGRAM!!!!!!!! This has taught my students an amazing amount of vocabulary words and it was done through a multi-modality approach.

I used this program last year with my kids and I saw a great increase in their success in both their speaking and writing skills. They used the new vocabulary words in the different writing pieces they were asked to write throughout the year.

Here is how the sight works:

First you login and then you will see a screen that gives you options.

First you pick a grade!

Then you will select your week!

Then you will select your day!

After you have selected all of these, then you can choose how you will present the vocabulary to your kids (Mulit-modality)!

Big Word Club awarded a Silver Medal from Parents' Choice Foundation. Read the Press Release below!

As we all know when our littles are home over the summer, they get out of school mode and they tend to forget some of the skills and info that they learned throughout the school year!

Well, my friends at Winner Hyundai in Dover, Delaware created this amazing graphic giving parents ideas on what families can do to keep the learning alive!!! I absolutely love it!!!
