After the first week of "ordinary" words, I ask them if they are ready for a "3d grade word, a 4th grade word, etc." Then, I say, "How about a college-level word?" Most are shouting "yes, yes,' (a few are suspicious). Our dictionary has the word "pachycephalosaurus." They are stunned as I write it on the board. After they find the definition, I casually wander over to the dinosaur books and what is there but a large egg (plaster Easter egg with hole in bottom). I pull out a small dinosaur toy (yes it is actually a pachycephalosaurus, not just any dinosaur). And lo and behold, we have a book on this species in our library! They go crazy!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01367168819821300375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626478366598140547.post-41422004967864211372017-01-09T14:59:14.026-05:002017-01-09T14:59:14.026-05:00Thank you for providing these materials!

I took your word lists, cut the into groups of five words and then had students look up the words and write down the page number. If they couldn't find the word, we would all stop to see if we could find it - it was very helpful for my second graders who are still getting used to alphabetizing, especially to the third letter.
