Early Vocabulary Storybooks SET (6)

Ages: 3-7   Grades: PreK-2

Each story introduces nine to sixteen vocabulary words.  Seven pages of activities are interspersed throughout each book, so you can easily direct learning within the context of the story.  Children build vocabulary as they hear and use the vocabulary in new contexts and interact with the words repeatedly.  The illustrated activities include:

• vocabulary definitions and examples
• application of vocabulary to current knowledge
• phonological awareness tasks (syllable awareness, rhyming, initial sounds)
• questions to help children conceptualize new vocabulary
• semantic applications (synonyms, antonyms)
• social language applications (inferring, perspective-taking)

The books may be purchased individually or as part of the Early Vocabulary Storybooks 6-book set.  The set consists of:
