Spotlight on Vocabulary Level 1: Categories
Ages: 6-8
Grades: 1-3
Grow word knowledge based on categories and expand language and thinking skills. Appealing lessons with simple language demands are perfect for children with language-learning disorders. The one-page activities feature lots of visual supports. Vocabulary is taken from graded vocabulary lists and is familiar to most students. A pretest/posttest makes it easy to measure instruction results.
Lesson formats vary and consist of tasks like:
- sorting reproducible pictures into categories and subcategories
- naming categories and items in a category
- circling, checking, and crossing out words
- coloring pictures as a reinforcer
Children learn to:
- sort things into groups of things that share a common characteristic
- understand broad categories and subcategories
- recognize which words are members of the same category
- exclude words that aren't members of a given category
