Root Analysis Instead of teaching the definition of a word, teach root words. Teach your students the meanings of specific root words and have them guess what the definition is. Students can take these root words and use them to decipher words they don’t know in the future.

The teacher gives students a list of key words to search for.

Students are to write each target word and its sentence on a sticky note, then place it on their desk each time they encounter a key word.

At the end of each school day, devote a few minutes to reading each sticky note.

You can even make a game out it by assigning each word a point.

The teacher divides students into groups. Each student in the group is responsible for learning three new words in the chapter.

Each “word wizard” is instructed to write the definition of the word in his/her own words as well as draw an illustration of the word.

After each “word wizard” has completed their task, it their job to come back to their group and teach their peers what they have learned.

Each group member can copy the new words that they learn from each member in their notebooks.

Eye Spy:  Give students a list of words to search for in a text or have them find unfamiliar words. You can award points to the words based on different criteria (longest new word, word with most consonants, etc.). Invest in a set of inexpensive dollar store magnifying glasses to make this more game-like. Do this as a pre-reading activity.

On the URL listed below you will find 5 resources to utilize when it comes to teaching vocabulary. The two that I found interesting is Music for Memorization. There is a free 30-day membership you can take advantage of. The next one is Personalized List. This is where the learners create their own list of vocabulary words they don't understand.
