Description

Vocabulary Ladders presents a cluster approach to teaching groups of semantically or meaningfully related words, much like a thesaurus. This method helps students learn new vocabulary and understand the subtle shades of meaning between similar words. Each lesson includes a thematic cluster of words for use in contextual and writing exercises. The book features an introductory page for teachers with objectives, required materials, answer keys, and additional words. With 20 lessons designed to be completed in about 10 minutes, three to four days per week, this softcover resource spans 144 pages and is reproducible for classroom use. It also includes a digital resource CD containing reproducible teacher resources and student activity pages. Suitable for Grade 3.
