Differentiating Vocabulary Instruction

Are you using the Not So Wimpy teacher vocabulary units and daily routine?

Monday: Definitions & Sentences

Tuesday: Synonyms & Antonyms

Wednesday: Prefixes & Suffixes

Thursday: Draw Pictures

Friday: Games and Assessment

In this episode, I quickly review this routine, but if you want to read more details, click HERE.

This routine helps the majority of the students in our classroom to be successful learning new tier 2 words, but we always have a few that continue to struggle. We need to differentiate our vocabulary instruction for those learners.

The good news is that it’s easy to differentiate our lessons to help those learners! In this episode, I share many suggestions.

  2. Print Teacher Guide
  3. Games (Click HERE for some free games!)
  4. Modified Assessments
  5. Technology

Hello! I’m Jamie

  • I believe that students need to be the leaders of the classroom. Even third graders are old enough to be held accountable and to take responsibility for their learning.
  • I do not believe that kids were made to sit in seats. They need to get up and move around.
  • Differentiated instruction is a must. I use guided reading and guided math groups to meet the individual needs of my students.
  • Helping a student to discover their love for reading is a privilege that I never get tired of.
  • School should be fun! We party in my class!
