Four Research-Based Practices for Building Vocabulary


  • Building Word Consciousness 
  • Explicitly Teaching the Words
  • Wide Reading
  • Creating Independent Learners




"I downloaded this to work with my high school students who are in special education. I thought they would think it was a little boring, but they were excited because they could finally see how morphemes came together to create word meanings. They had fun tackling the bigger words and decoding their meaning. I love this book!"

Word Analysis

Grades 1 - 5

Continuums are a great way to learn new vocabulary words because it shows how the new word relates to words already in your students’ vocabulary. As you are doing teacher read-alouds, shared reading, or guided reading, you will notice words that could be put on a continuum.
