Using the Book
Where would we be without words? It’s hard to imagine. Words are a
basic building block of communication, and a strong vocabulary is an
essential part of reading, writing, and speaking well. The purpose of this
book is to help young learners expand the number of words they know
and the ways in which they use them. Although 240 vocabulary words
are introduced, many more words and meanings are woven into the
book’s 24 lessons.
Learning new words is not just about encountering them; it’s about
using, exploring, and thinking about them. So the lessons in this book
are organized around different aspects and attributes of words—
opposites (antonyms), describing words (adjectives), action words (verbs),
homophones, compound words, key content area vocabulary, and more.
Tips
• You’ll find a complete
alphabetized list of all the lesson
words on page 78.
• As you introduce the lessons,
have the following items
available: beginning dictionaries
and thesauruses, and writing
notebooks or journals in which
students can record words and
use them in sentences.
Lesson Organization
Each lesson includes three parts and introduces ten words.

Tips for Using
the Lessons
•
onsider having students fill
C
out “Word Inventory Sheets”
before each lesson. The headings
for such a sheet might be: Words
I Know, Words I Have Seen but
Don’t Really Know; New Words.
Students can list the vocabulary
words and probable meanings
under the headings. As the
lesson proceeds they can make
revisions and additions.
• Each page in every three-part
lesson uses all ten vocabulary
words. The exercises on most of
the pages use each vocabulary
word once. Encourage students
to think about the best word
to complete a sentence or to
answer each question.
• Some words have more than
one meaning, including some
not given in the lesson. You may
want to point out additional
meanings or invite students to
discover them independently.
• Consider having students make
a set of word cards for each
lesson, or make a class set and
place it in your writing center.
• Use the vocabulary to
teach related spelling and
grammar rules.
• Have students illustrate
240 Vocabulary Words Kids Need to Know: Grade 1 © 2012 by Scholastic Inc.
some words.
• Encourage students to make
semantic maps for some words.
For instance, they might create
a map for a noun to show what
the word is, and what it is like
and not like.
• Help students make
connections by pointing out
lesson words used in other
contexts and materials.
• Add your own writing
assignments. The more students
use a word, the more likely they
are to “own” it.
