Vocabulary 2nd graders: Academic vocabulary words for 2nd graders
Second Grade Vocabulary Curriculum YEAR-LONG BUNDLE – Miss DeCarbo
This YEAR-LONG Vocabulary Curriculum BUNDLE for second grade includes 32 weeks of vocabulary instruction, lesson plans, activities, discussions, word play games, digital and printable books, passages, synonym and antonym sorts, vocabulary puzzles, writing response printables for vocabulary and word application, word guides for the teacher, vocabulary cards for vocabulary notebooks, research and rationale guides, and assessments! The year-long curriculum will expose your students to a wide variety of Tier 2 vocabulary words in order to help them build skills for oral language, writing, reading, and real-world experiences. Each lesson can be completed within twenty minutes, and offers the teacher flexibility and differentiation along the way!
Your students will build essential skills in the areas of:
• writing
• reading
• oral language skills for discussions, conversations, and speaking in complete sentences
• real-world experiences and connections to books and passages
• Tier 2 vocabulary skills and essential understandings for Tier 2 words with multiple meanings, synonyms, antonyms, how to use words correctly within context, and more!
This Vocabulary Curriculum for Second Grade is a Year-Long Bundle and includes FOUR sets. Each set contains eight weeks of instruction:
• Vocabulary Curriculum for Second Grade SET 1
• Vocabulary Curriculum for Second Grade SET 2
• Vocabulary Curriculum for Second Grade SET 3
• Vocabulary Curriculum for Second Grade SET 4
Five detailed and descriptive “Master Lesson Plans” are used each week to help you facilitate the vocabulary instruction and activities. In addition, an At-A-Glance Weekly Guide and a Teacher Word Guide are included each week. These pages will give you a quick glimpse of your weekly words, your day-to-day activities, and important vocabulary information such as kid-friendly definitions, example sentences, synonyms, antonyms, and multiple meanings (when applicable).
Is this curriculum based in research?
YES! A four-page Research and Rationale guide is included in the resource and in the free preview file for your convenience. A complete list of vocabulary research citations has also been included so that you can see what I read and used in my own vocabulary research over the past three years.
“What is the weekly vocabulary routine?”
Day 1: Introduction You will introduce a very short reading passage to your students. The passage is set up as a “cloze text.” After completing a quick word prediction activity, you will share the week’s new focus words with your students. Then, the students will help you place the week’s focus words into the context of the story. Detailed and descriptive “Teacher Discussion Questions” are included for Day 1. These discussion questions help you explain each word’s meaning and its relation to the text. It also includes prompts and vocabulary games that help students connect the vocabulary to their own lives. I recommend writing the short passage on sentence strips and placing them on a pocket chart. This helps the students interact directly with the text and physically manipulate the word cards. If you prefer not to do so, a projectable page is provided for you. Student copies of the passage are included if you would like students to fill in the words on their own throughout the lesson.
Day 2: Story Time Your students will gather to listen to a short read-aloud booklet that puts the focus words into a new context and situation. The book is provided in a digital format so that you can project it onto your screen for the class to follow along. (Printable versions are included, too. Digital booklets open on any device that has Microsoft PowerPoint installed on it.) Seeing and hearing the words in a new situation and scenario helps the students to make connections between the words and better understand each word’s meaning (and multiple meaning, if applicable). Once again, detailed teacher language and discussion questions are provided. After the read-aloud, your students will complete a quick writing response activity. The writing prompt is connected to the read-aloud topic and helps students apply the words they are learning to their real lives.
Day 3: Connections It’s synonym and antonym day! Today, you and your students will complete one of two activities. You can choose to revisit the story from Day 1 and replace the week’s focus words with synonyms and antonyms. Or, you can complete a synonym and antonym word sort together using the word cards. Your students will be exposed to MANY wonderful Tier 2 words through these activities! An optional student copy of the word sort is included. This would make a great small group activity, or the printable can be completed by the students as you are working on the lesson together.
Day 4: Word Play A vocabulary word play menu is included within each set. This menu contains different hands-on activities to help your students “play” with and use the words they are learning. Each set includes new word play activities! The following vocabulary games and activities are included:
•Word Drama – Students will participate in a game in which they will act out the meaning of various words.
•Word Colors – Students will color a crayon template based on the color he or she thinks represents or describes the meaning of each week’s focus words.
•Word Emojis – Students will hold up an emoji stick to show and explain how each word makes the student feel.
•Word Theater – Students will orally create a story or “play” that uses the week’s focus words, synonyms, and/or antonyms using character sticks with a partner or a small group.
•Word Chat – Students will assign each focus word to a picture card that they think best represents the word’s meaning.
•Word Chant – Students will participate in a word rap to practice synonyms, antonyms, and definitions.
•Synonym Sing-along- Students practice synonyms with a fun sing-along song!
•Antonym Sing-along- Students practice antonyms with a fun sing-along song!
•Word Puzzles- Students experiment and play with synonyms by completing puzzles that provide an understanding of how words are related using meaning and context.
•Word Wonderer -In this fun game, students will guess the focus word as other students give clues, definitions, and synonyms to explain and describe the words.
•Word Artist – Students will illustrate the word before the timer runs out as their friends guess the mystery vocabulary word.
Day 5: Application Your students will complete a “Sentence Stem” writing activity. Sentence starters have been provided for each of the week’s focus words. Your students will complete the sentence in order to practice using the sentence correctly and within the appropriate situation. This activity also helps your students apply the words to their own lives, and truly “own” the words!
What else is included?
Optional Quick Sketch Assessments are included each week. These can be used to assess your students’ understanding of the words, or, used as an additional activity.
• Optional cloze assessments are provided.
• Label the Photograph printable – This activity is a printable version of the “Word Chat” activity and can even be used as an assessment. The students will cut, label, and glue a word to each picture that he or she believes best shows the word’s meaning.
• Vocabulary Word Cards – Use the word cards on a Vocabulary Word Wall within your classroom to show off all of the great Tier 2 words you and your students are learning, or, use them in personal vocabulary notebooks.
You can use as many lessons as you want each week or as few as you would like! One of the beautiful parts of this program is the flexibility it provides. If you have a short week, you can easily pick and choose the lessons that work best for your students. It can also be as “rigid” as you would like by sticking to the detailed plan. While I cannot give an exact time frame for each lesson plan due to varied classroom structures, management, student needs, etc., you should plan on roughly 15-20 minutes a day for your vocabulary routine.
Your students will be immersed in vocabulary instruction that uses best practices and brain-based research. As teachers, we know that students who are provided with isolated vocabulary instruction often fail to retain the words, meanings, and connections to their own lives. This second-grade curriculum teaches vocabulary words within the context of short, kid-friendly passages and stories. Your students will always be exposed to vocabulary words that are embedded in text and real-world situations. We also know that students retain words when they have ample opportunities to use the words and apply them to their own lives. Each set focuses on rich and robust classroom conversations, word play activities, word association games, and the connections between words as your students are exposed to synonyms and antonyms on a weekly basis.
I strongly encourage you to download the free PREVIEW FILE to learn how this curriculum works and how easy it is to teach! A SAMPLE WEEK has been included in the preview so that you can better see the learning activities. Additional FAQs have also been included in the preview file for your convenience.

20 Meaningful Vocabulary Activities for Every Grade
Learning new words is like adding to your writing wardrobe. Your writing becomes so much more interesting and engaging when you have more options available. These vocabulary activities work for all ages, K-12, and provide kids with a variety of learning options to help them build their own word bank.
1. Make a word map
Word maps help deepen understanding of a vocab word by relating it to other words and concepts students already know.
Learn more: Word Map/Upper Elementary Snapshots
2. Use the Frayer Model
Frayer models are a popular way to learn new words and concepts. Kids define the word in their own terms, then list facts and characteristics, examples, and non-examples.
Learn more: Southern Fried Teachin’
3. Draw vocabulary sketchnotes
Kids and teachers love sketchnotes! Rather than writing out definitions, have students draw a sketch that sums up each word instead. It’s a lot more fun and gives kids an image for visual association and to help remember the meanings.
Learn more: Now Spark Creativity
4. Bump words along
Group vocab words together with a few other words with similar meanings and one that’s an antonym. Students identify the antonym and “bump” it to the next box, filling in the next group of words. They continue until the worksheet is full.
Learn more: Reading and Writing Haven
5. Post a Graffiti Wall
Think of a vocabulary graffiti wall like a collaborative word wall. In the classroom, post the words on the wall and have kids add sticky notes to illustrate the term (they can use words or pictures). Online, try a tool like Padlet or Google Slides.
Learn more: Digging Deeper
6. Match words to describe character
This is a terrific way to practice vocab words pulled from books you’re reading. Ask students to use various words to describe the different characters in the book and their feelings, thoughts, and actions.
Learn more: The Sassy Apple
7. Fill in words from A to Z
This vocabulary game is fun and challenging, and you can play it at any age. Choose a word, then challenge kids to come up with related words for as many letters as possible. These could be synonyms, antonyms, examples, and more. Trickier letters are worth more points!
Learn more: A to Z/Lit in Focus
8. Try Flipgrid for vocabulary activities
Forever a Teacher at Heart/Twitter
Are you on the Flipgrid bandwagon yet? It’s perfect for vocabulary activities! Have kids record a quick video for each word, using their creativity to make it fun and meaningful.
9. Battle it out in Vocabulary Jeopardy
Good vocabulary activities encourage more than just memorization of definitions. That’s why we like this Jeopardy game idea. It explores synonyms and antonyms and how words are used in real sentences.
Learn more: Not So Wimpy Teacher
10. Use RAFTs to write vocabulary stories
Writing a story using vocab words is a perennial favorite, but the RAFT method gives it a new twist. Students are assigned a Role (the point of view from which they’ll tell the story), an Audience, a Format, and a Topic. For instance, they might be an astronaut (Role) writing a postcard (Format) to their friends back home (Audience) about what they’ve seen on Mars (Topic). RAFTs are especially great for kids who claim they don’t know what to write about.
Learn more: RAFT/Teaching Writing
11. Discover the power of words
Vocabulary words take on greater meaning when students incorporate them into their daily lives. Challenge kids to use their vocab words in conversation and writing outside the language arts classroom. Use the free printable worksheet here to help them keep track of how often they use them.
12. Create graphic organizers
Colorful organizers like these are terrific vocabulary activities. Want to go digital? Have kids make a slideshow, one slide per word. They can include the same information, but instead of drawing a picture, have them find one online that illustrates the concept.
Learn more: Graphic Organizers/Upper Elementary Snapshots
13. Focus on a Word of the Week
Give really important terms the attention they deserve. Choose a new vocab word each week, then explore it in depth day by day.
Learn more: Lit In Focus
14. Join the Million Dollar Word Club
Post a list of target vocab words. If a student uses one of the words in class (outside of vocabulary activities), they become a member of the Million Dollar Word Club! You can have them sign their name on a wall in the classroom or award a badge online. You could even develop this into a reward system for homework passes or extra credit.
Learn more: Million Dollar Words/The Sassy Apple
15. Explore shades of meaning
This is a cool idea for exploring synonyms and the slight differences that make words unique. Ask for paint sample strips at your local hardware store, or buy a clip art set. In the classroom, use these paint strips to make crafts for a bulletin board. Working in a virtual environment? Have kids print clip art strips at home or use the images to make slides or digital worksheets.
Learn more: Around the Kampfire
16. Personify a word with social media
This is one of those vocabulary activities kids will want to do over and over again! Assign each student a word and have them create a fake Facebook, Instagram, or other social media page for it. They can draw them freehand or complete a template like these from Teachers Pay Teachers. Post the images to a shared Google slideshow so other students can use them for review.
Learn more: Reading and Writing Haven
17. Play vocabulary word Taboo
In this game, the goal is for one student to get their partner to guess the word by describing or giving examples of it. The trick? There’s a list of additional words they’re not allowed to use! Let other students see the card in advance to help keep the players honest. (Flash it on a whiteboard and have the guesser face away.)
Learn more: Teaching Talking
18. Roll a die for vocabulary activities
Choose a vocab word, then have the student roll a die (these virtual dice are handy) to see which activity they get to complete.
Learn more: Roll a Word/Lucky Little Learners
19. Write an acrostic
Write an acrostic poem for each vocab term, using the letters to determine the first word in each line. This can get really challenging when words are longer!
Learn more: Vocab Acrostic/Upper Elementary Snapshots
20. Become a Word Collector
youtube.com/embed/9caTyzlZwws?feature=oembed” frameborder=”0″ allow=”accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture” allowfullscreen=””>
This is one of those picture books that grown-up kids will enjoy as much as little ones. Use it to remind your kids that they don’t need a vocabulary list to learn new words—new words are all around them. Encourage them to keep a word list or journal of their own to record new words they want to explore and use more often.

Vocabulary work in elementary school (grades 1-2)
The most important task in elementary school is to enrich vocabulary. At 6-7 years old, the child is aware of the language means that he mastered in the preschool period, as he has a relatively mature attention and memory.
Often the vocabulary that a child hears and uses is not enough for him to express his feelings, thoughts, emotions, understanding the material being studied.
Poor vocabulary often interferes with successful work in the field of spelling. When checking spelling, students often do not find the necessary test words, because they are not in the active vocabulary of students.
A word is an element of the vocabulary only if it corresponds in consciousness to a known reality or a known concept. This can be done based on the figurative memory of children 7-10 years old.
Vocabulary work is a means of enriching the vocabulary of schoolchildren.
The dictionary can be made richer in quantitative and qualitative terms.
Students’ vocabulary grows quantitatively by 4-5 words every day. Working on the quantitative side of the dictionary allows you to eliminate such shortcomings as “does not remember the word, does not know its meaning”, “does not know the meaning of the word, it is not in its active dictionary”. Familiarization of younger students with different meanings of words, including figurative ones, is also an element of quantitative enrichment of the dictionary.
Russian language textbooks in the School of Russia program contain words from orthoepic, spelling, explanatory dictionaries, a dictionary of synonyms and antonyms.
In the spelling dictionary of the 1st grade – 29 words, in the 2nd grade 74 more words are added. Familiarization with them occurs gradually in the lessons of teaching literacy and the Russian language.
- Every day the students get to know each other and repeat 4-5 words.
- We write new words in the “Dictionary”, note which topic they belong to, keep the Thematic Dictionary.
- In the 2nd grade we write down vocabulary words in our Homework.
- From time to time we fill in vocabulary cards, write vocabulary dictations (including those composed by the children themselves), make cards of words in which mistakes were made, and compose “funny” texts from these words.
- In vocabulary cards we include words from the orthoepic dictionary, in which students put stress.
- In dictionary dictations for the interpretation of a word, schoolchildren recognize and write down the right word, antonyms and synonyms are selected for words.
- We expand the “Dictionary” by adding the name of the locality where we live, words from other educational programs.
- We play vocabulary games.
- At the end of the school year, we fill out a summary card of all vocabulary words, write the final vocabulary dictation.
- We celebrate the success of children in expanding their vocabulary.

At the stage of word presentation, I use various methods of organizing the work of schoolchildren with thematic groups of words. I propose to find the word in the table according to my assignment. I call the number of the group and the ordinal number of the word in this group. Through simple calculations, students can easily find the given word.
During the game “Cryptor” I suggest that students solve riddles, find the answer in the table and show the group number and the ordinal number of the word in this group using a fan of numbers.
I also propose to define a word by its lexical meaning. To do this, I often practice the game “Auction”. After the students have determined the meaning of the word, I suggest that they “buy” it for “money”. The meaning of a word, the definition of a part of speech, the selection of words with the same root, the composition of a sentence with this word, etc. can act as “money”.
At the stage of listening, we pronounce the word in unison (2-3 times), determine the “difficult” place. I try for the guys to find it themselves, then the process of writing for students becomes conscious, because even before writing down they can determine the spelling in the word. If the student remembers that the word has weak positions for vowels (position without stress) and consonants (position before another consonant and at the end of the word), then he can easily cope with this task.
At the stage of writing a word with subsequent analysis, together with the children, we determine the stressed and unstressed vowels, divide the word into syllables, count the number of syllables and put the corresponding number in the pocket above the word on the right. We count the number of letters in the word and put the corresponding number in the pocket under the word on the right. We are looking for “cunning” letters in the word (i, e, u, e, b, b), we determine in which cases they denote 2 sounds or the absence of a sound. And only after that we determine the number of sounds in the word and put the corresponding number in the pocket above the word on the left. Before writing a word in a notebook, I pay attention to the “signal of danger” – a red dot under the spelling. After carrying out this type of work, having spoken spelling (as it is written), I ask students to write down the word in a notebook.
By organizing the activities of students in this way, I work ahead of the curve: I develop the skills of phonetic analysis of the word. It is no secret that many students in grades 5-9 have difficulty completing a complete phonetic analysis of a word. If the elementary school does not devote more time to this type of activity than the program requires, then these difficulties can later develop into a big problem.
In the 3rd grade, I add a characteristic of each sound in the word to the above described algorithm for working on a dictionary word. The signs that we used in grade 2 to indicate sound quality are no longer enough. Therefore, in grade 3, I introduce children to transcription – a way to record the sound shell of a word. First, I suggest that students use the “hint”. As a rule, it is needed only in the first lessons. After the students have given a complete description of each sound in the word, I ask them to write down the word in transcription on the board and in their notebooks.
“Hint”
At the stage of working on the “visual” image of the word, I suggest that students compare the spelling of the word (in the top row) and the transcription (in the bottom row), name the spelling and explain its spelling. This type of activity contributes to the repetition of the rule: in order not to make a mistake in writing a vowel in a weak position in a word, you need to choose a test word; if it is impossible to find such a word, then you should refer to the spelling dictionary. In addition, students learn to independently solve spelling problems, gain experience in working with dictionaries.
At the stage of memorizing the spelling appearance of a word, I use a variety of methods and techniques:
gild; healthy – health, recover).
2. An associative image (a connection with a dictionary word must be traced by a common feature; an associative connection can be by color, shape, taste, purpose, action, location, etc. ). I never impose my associations on schoolchildren. The student will not remember the spelling of this word if he does not make the association himself. Sometimes I suggest that the children write down the word again, but in place of the spelling, draw some object that resembles a letter that needs to be remembered. For example, in word apples … to … at the place of passes, students usually draw 2 round apples, and in the word yag … yes – a plate or a round cherry.
3. Writing a word with eyes closed. I invite the children to close their eyes and present the word as it is written in the book, then read the word spelling
(as written), visualize the “dangerous” letter flashing, read the word slowly again and write it with your eyes closed 3 times in the air.
To involve students in active cognitive activity and consolidate their knowledge, skills and abilities, I use all kinds of games that occupy an important place in the life of younger students. The game allows you to maintain the cognitive activity of students, rationally combine verbal, visual and practical methods, to systematically monitor the quality of assimilation of knowledge, skills and abilities. Constant feedback allows you to influence the course of the educational process and adjust it.
One of the games for memorizing words with unchecked spellings is “Lotto”. Its kit includes several sheets lined into cells, in which dictionary words are printed (the spelling in the word must be highlighted).
Riddles are written on small cards. I suggest that students guess them and place the card with the guess word in the required cell of the field (the size of the cell on the sheet and the small card must match; the guess words in the cells must correspond to riddles).
At the stage of acquaintance with a new word, I play the game “Extra Word”. I show pictures on a certain topic (“Birds”,
“Animals”,
“Clothing”),
one of which does not correspond to the proposed thematic group. The guys determine the extra word. Next, I conduct vocabulary work to learn a new word with an unverifiable spelling according to the algorithm described above.
I use different shapes for fixing picture
dictations. For example, I show several cards of words with unverifiable spellings, after reading I close the cards and show pictures from the “Picture Gallery” set. If the item shown in the picture corresponds to the previously shown record of the word on the card, then we write this word in a notebook. After that, I open the cards with the spelling of the words and invite the students to check the correctness of the entries made in the notebooks.
Game “Dictionary” helps to form a variety of sounds and options for their designation, helps to draw a parallel sound – letter and thereby developing the skill of sound -letter analysis of the word and developing the ability to display sounds in the letter. I distribute cards with vocabulary words to students in such a way that only the student who received this card could read the entry. Other students should not see the words of their “neighbors”. After that I say “I was born a Dictionary, // I got really angry! // I’m tired of all sounds, // Except…” and name any sound. A student whose word contains this sound must run out to the “Dictionary”. If the spelling is at odds with the pronunciation, explain it. For example, I say “…except [c]” . Children run out with cards with the words forty, bus, dishes, draw, frost. A schoolchild with the word frost explains that in this word we hear the sound [s], it has a pair on the basis of sonority – deafness and is at the end of the word, so the spelling of such words is checked by selecting single-root words: frost, freeze. The student who ran out first with his word, having correctly identified the sound, can act as a leading teacher, then the game continues. The guys should be attentive, as the presenter can change the words “I’m tired of all the sounds” to “I’m tired of all the letters.” In this case, it is better to name an unchecked unstressed vowel at the root of the word. Explaining the spelling of such words, students say that this spelling is checked using a dictionary and the spelling of the word must be remembered.
The systematic conduct of such games and exercises allows you to develop the memory of younger students, enrich their speech with new vocabulary, form a conscious skill of writing and the correct use of difficult words in oral and written speech. There were much fewer mistakes in spelling words, children’s speech became richer, vocabulary expanded noticeably. I managed to arouse students’ interest in learning not only vocabulary words, but also the Russian language as a whole.

In this article I would like to share my experience of working on a word in Russian language lessons in elementary school. The literacy of writing is always an urgent problem. Why is literacy necessary? It is very important in order to adapt to the world around you, so that both peers and people around you understand you.
My goal in the Russian language lessons is to create conditions for the formation of a spelling skill in the process of working on a word.
For this, the main tasks are formulated:
1. To teach to see danger in a word.
2. To develop the skill of competent writing.
3. Raise the need to improve your written language.
The practical significance of such work lies in the material I have collected, which can be used in Russian language lessons when conducting vocabulary work.
Work on the word contributes to the development of a number of mental operations: observation, comparison, establishing similarities and differences, teaches to draw conclusions and generalizations, to be literate and educated.
The organization of vocabulary and spelling work involves making observations on the polysemy, homonymity of the studied words, on the direct meaning, synonyms and antonyms.
The program of elementary education in the Russian language for each class provides for the obligatory assimilation of a number of words, the spelling of which is not checked by the rules. A strong assimilation of their spelling was achieved through frequent use in various tasks and exercises, if possible related to the topic of the lesson being studied.
Each teacher develops his own specific system for mastering the spelling of dictionary words. Children receive initial information in grade 1. Work according to the recipe and the textbook, first-graders observe, remember the words: pencil case, magpie, crow, Moscow and others.
In each of the subsequent classes, the number of such words requiring error-free spelling increases. The words provided by the program for each class are grouped by topic: “Animals”, “Plants”, “Tools”, as well as by the peculiarities of writing “Double consonants”, “Paired consonants”, etc.
In the 2nd grade, students work in a spelling notebook. Some of the exercises should be done in class and some at home. In grade 3, the number of words increases, and in grade 4, students work according to the algorithm:
- Definition of the lexical meaning of a word.
- Writing a word in transcription.
- Letter of words.
4. Selection of cognate words.
5. Preparation of proposals.
You can offer students to choose their own words to a specific topic from the dictionary for a specific spelling, write from memory and then check. The choice of a topic for vocabulary work can be associated with the topic of the lesson, the content of the exercises, the time of year, a minute of calligraphy. Use groups of words to practice spelling in vocabulary work for consolidation. Dictionary words are widely used for grammatical analysis. When performing various tasks, not only those words that have been studied recently are included, but also those that have been studied earlier. Such a system ensures a strong assimilation of the spelling of all the words provided for by the primary education program. It is necessary to teach children to “peer” at the words, to get acquainted with its “relatives and ancestors”, to learn how it “works”, to listen to the sound, to realize the significance of the word itself. Through the dialogue of the teacher and students, cultural, moral and spiritual enrichment of students takes place.
An important task in the study of vocabulary words is to teach children to use different types of dictionaries as sources of information.
An important problem of literate writing is to teach to see “danger”. In my work, I use the “green ink writing secret” technique. As soon as danger appears, green paste works. The more spellings we study, the more often the green color lights up in students’ notebooks. Children like this kind of letter, it adds variety to the work, and green paste, like the green color of a traffic light, develops a sense of self-control.
In the classroom, together with the students, a stand is produced under the heading “Remember these words”, on which we place only those words that are not in the dictionary of the textbook. I also use ICT to organize the work of students in order to significantly improve the quality of writing, enrich vocabulary, and have an interest. I select poems, riddles, etymological origin of words, phraseological units, illustrations for a certain thematic group.
Based on the well-known psychological regularity — the more sense organs perceive what is being studied, the stronger the memorization takes place, it becomes necessary to use all kinds of means of influencing the student in the lesson. The teacher needs to organize vocabulary work in such a way that vision, hearing, hand, memory, and consciousness take an active part in the assimilation of each word.
Mastering the spelling of dictionary words requires a multiple system of exercises that are associated with all types of students’ written work:
1. Writing words alphabetically.
2. Selective answer.
3. Grouping and writing words according to spelling.
4. Comparison of words with the opposite spelling.
5. Selection and recording of synonyms and antonyms.
6. Joking rhyming words.
7. Birds: magpie, crow, sparrow.
8. Shop: milk, cottage cheese, compote, butter, sugar.
9. The answer to the question in one word is a person who travels by train or bus.
10. Dictations: visual, pictorial, selective, creative, from memory, with commentary.
11. Crosswords.
12. Puzzles.
13. Collect the word.
14. Proverbs, sayings, riddles.
As you can see, there are many exercises of this nature. They allow students to be interested in learning vocabulary words, lay the foundation for spelling vigilance skills.
Also, a system of tasks for the formation of universal educational activities was developed at Russian lessons. Of particular interest are exercises focused on the development of communication (cooperation). They involve the development of various forms of cooperation: work in pairs, together in small or large groups. Students learn to distribute work, roles among themselves, to carry out mutual verification. A group of tasks within the framework of communication is focused on the impact of participants and involves the development of skills to reasonably express one’s point of view, correctly criticize, and defend one’s point of view. Such forms of work are also used in the study of the section “Vocabulary words”. Using the lesson fragment as an example, let’s consider the content of such work.
The first stage: students are given cards with a set of learned vocabulary words, and are asked to fill in the missing letters after doing lexical work.
Second stage: students complete the task on their own.
Third stage: discussion and justification of the letters used in pairs (work in pairs).
Fourth stage: mutual checking (according to the dictionary) and mutual evaluation.
Based on the position that work on the word in the primary grades is the basis of literate writing, which forms a conscious writing skill and the correct use of words in written and oral speech, we tried to present work experience that may interest teachers and help them organize work on studying dictionary words.
