Ohmomjacquie Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Hi! JuWwwwstvitreous what you all suggest forthird grade? My daughter has an expressive speech delay which has made a difference in the vocabulary she understand when reading. I've looked at vocabulary workshop and evan moor word a day. Is there another I should look at? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrissySC Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Is English a second language or first language for her? How does she do with grammar? If she is 11, I would tend to start with book 1 for Wordly Wise, and maybe for the pronounciations add Megawords. Work through them slowly. WW for the vocabulary enrigchment and working with the words, and Megawords to learn the sounds that a syllable will make and spell. Again, speed or grade level should not be the issue - concentrate on getting results and that may mean taking lots of time to get there. HTH Consider .... Dynamic Literacy if it is in your budget.

Guest Jennifer Robinson Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I'm trying to get the word out about a program I've developed called Visual Vocabulary. It's designed for all levels, but its methods make it well-suited for kids with special needs. No workbooks, no dry lists. I don't want to be salesman-y on here, but I'd love to answer any questions.

SunnyDays Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 There are a couple things that come to mind. One is VocabuLits, from Perfection Learning. My DS used these in his G/T program when he was in school, and I think we're going to start them again next year. http://www.perfectionlearning.com/vocabu-lit-program They're graded, but you can take a look and see if a different level is best. The other we haven't used but it looks interesting: Word Roots from Critical Thinking. It's more of a prefix/roots/suffix strategy, and we just might use something like this instead... I can't decide. http://www.criticalthinking.com/getProductDetails.do?code=c&id=03709 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't decide. http://www.criticalthinking.com/getProductDetails.do?code=c&id=03709 I started Dynamic Literacy's WordBuild program this past year. It is also a prefix/suffix/roots strategy for learning vocabulary. The program is meant to be started in 3rd/4th or older. It is pricey, but I think it is solid.

crazyfordlr Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I'm trying to get the word out about a program I've developed called Visual Vocabulary.

I'd like to learn more, please ;) I'm in a similar boat. My rising 6th grader has CAPD that affects both her expressive and receptive language. We've been doing therapy and remediation for a year now and she's doing great in reading and math. However, her writing and vocab are way behind. I love Wordly Wise (used it when teaching at private school pre-kids.) I'm worried that it'd be too much for her. IDK. I'm still figuring out this whole mom gig. Thanks for letting me butt in to this old thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melanie3 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Dynamic literacy could be supplemented with the Rummy Roots card game. I think that would make it more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
