Wordplay Boosts Vocabulary
A rich vocabulary gives your child the words she needs to express her thoughts and understand her schoolwork. Try these playful activities to help her learn new words.
Clever Combinations
A portmanteau is a new word formed by blending two existing words (jeans + leggings = jeggings, breakfast + lunch = brunch). You and your youngster can make up portmanteaus for each other to guess. She might say, “What do you call a rainbow on a snowy day?” (A snowbow!) And you could ask, “What do you call a documentary that’s comical?” (A doccom.)
Words Within Words
Pick a word (say, monitor) for each family member to write on her paper. Set a timer for 5 minutes, and list words you can make using letters in the word. A fun twist: You may use any letter multiple times within the same word, so mirror is allowed even though monitor has only one R. When time’s up, read your lists aloud. Did anyone learn a new word from someone else’s list?
Synonym Suns
Have your child draw a big sun on a sheet of paper and write a common word (say, good) in the center. Take turns adding a ray to the sun and writing a synonym (excellent, great). On your turns, try to choose words your youngster may not know, such as stupendous. When you can’t think of more synonyms, start another sun with a new word.♥
8. EXACT Path: Students are encouraged to log into EXACT Path daily while at home. They have a dedicated time during the school day to work on their learning paths. However, we do encourage students to continue practicing their "Leveled" skills in their "Reading and Math" learning pathways. Students are recognized bi-weekly for their mastery progress and usage minutes.
