Each week I will be attaching the word of the week to a blog posts on Monday.
Learning new words will help build vocabulary, brighten reading skills, and even stimulate higher order thinking. Words of the Week can also offer up many activities for you and your student to partake in together:
-Use the word of the day to build discussion together
-Write a paragraph about what that word means to you
-Keep a tally and see how many times each of you can use the word throughout your tutoring session
-Look up the antonyms and synonyms for the word
-Write each WOTW (word of the week) on a notecard, hole punch, and put on a key chain. Keep the words in your student's folder and review each week.
-Once you have collected all of these fabulous words, get online and create a WORDLE together. Print in the computer lab and save it as a "word" of art! Check out my wordle below:
So, for our very first WOTW, our first word is:
superfluous
going beyond what is enough or necessary : extra
