Word of the Day Activity

Learning new vocabulary should be a daily activity. Having a 'Word of the Day' to focus on is a good way to encourage the learning of new words.

For this activity:

Introduce a new word each day.
Seasonal vocabulary can be a good starting place when deciding which words to focus on.
Post the word on a whiteboard or piece of paper each morning.
Discuss the meaning of the word, muddle up the letter cards and practice spelling the word.
Make up a sentence including the word of the day.
Write each word of the sentence on a different card and hide these cards around the room. Put the sentence in order and read it together.
