Makes Learning Vocabulary Fun
What’s That Word? A Fun Way to Build Vocabulary is a boredom buster! Students in grades 7 -12 love it. Each lesson has a theme that’s chock full of laughs to “hook” students. What’s That Word? uses word-play, jokes, puns, amusing stories and verbal “jousting” to build vocabulary. Because the activities teach the words in such an entertaining way, students easily remember the words. It really works!
Each themed lesson has:
- 10 college-prep words
- An amusing title
- Activities for definitions, synonyms, and antonyms
- Imaginative illustrations of “Yakkity Yak,” who helps “steer” students through the workbook
- Entertaining stories that are fill-in-the-blank activities for learning words in context
- Writing activities
- A quiz! (Some of which are puzzles!)
“What’s That Word? is an excellent tool to expose your students to new vocabulary. The words are grouped thematically and have lesson titles that the students will enjoy. I have used this book in my classroom for two years and have noticed a significant increase in students’ retention of the vocabulary words over time. I highly recommend this product to teachers.” ‒ Erica Shultz, High School English/Language Arts Teacher, Austin, TX
