Using Leveled Word Cards for English Language Developm
• The multiple categories on each card allow
you to match activities to a student’s level.
• Hold up a card as you introduce that
vocabulary word, pointing out the pictures
and letters as you sound out the words.
• Pull out the cards for one week and provide
them in a center where students may access
them as needed to practice and review
lesson vocabulary.
• Encourage production of oral language.
Have small groups pick a card and read the
contextual sentence. Then, have students
discuss the content and ideas raised by the
sentence.
• Have pairs take turns using them as flash
cards to review vocabulary words from
previous weeks up to the current week.
• For extra credit or homework, ask students
to use Making Word Connections and
More Words Connections to: (1) write a
definition for one or more words, (2) write
a paragraph using as many of the words as
possible, (3) choose a word and explain the
connection, (4) add words to the list.
• Use the cards any time for one-on-one
assessment of word recognition and
pronunciation, as well as vocabulary
comprehension. Read or show the definition
then ask for the word, and vice versa.
