Description

Vocabulary Ladders offers a unique cluster approach to teaching groups of semantically related words, similar to a thesaurus. This method helps students learn not only individual words but also their subtle differences in meaning. Each lesson focuses on a theme and a cluster of words, which students then use in contextual and writing exercises. The book includes an introductory page for the teacher outlining the lesson’s objective, required materials, answer key, and additional words. With 20 lessons designed to take approximately 10 minutes, three to four days each week, this resource spans 144 reproducible pages for classroom use in a softcover format. A digital resource CD is included, featuring reproducible teacher resource materials and student activity pages. Ideal for Grade 2.
