Steps To Making Tiered Vocabulary Activity Booklets – DIY Option
There are five simple steps to create tiered vocabulary booklets for your students.
Step One: Determine Your List of Vocabulary Words
On a scrap piece of paper, or using the following template, determine a list of vocabulary words you want your students to master. Include the words and easy-to-understand definitions. CLICK on the image to DOWNLOAD the template.
Step Two: Create a Template For Your Students to Use
Decide what aspects you would like your students to practice in relation to their vocabulary. Do you want your students to:
- identify the part of speech (noun, verb, adjective, adverb, etc.),
- write a synonym or antonym for each word,
- think of adjectives to describe the word,
- use the vocabulary word in a sentence, and/or
- draw a picture of the vocabulary word.
Here is a basic template that I like to use with students. CLICK on the image to DOWNLOAD vocabulary templates.
Step Three: Tier the Template For Students With Low Writing Input
If you have students that have trouble with writing output, adjust the template to meet their needs. For these students, I like to use a template that includes the word, the definition, and drawing a picture. CLICK on the image to DOWNLOAD vocabulary templates.
Step Four: Tier the Template For Students Who Need a Challenge
For students that you would like to challenge, provide a template like the following. CLICK on the image to DOWNLOAD vocabulary templates.
