Vocabulary Toolkit: Vocabulary Acrostic

Explore new vocabulary words in a fun and memorable way with this Vocabulary Acrostic graphic organizer! This engaging template encourages students to use their creativity to write an acrostic poem using a vocabulary word. Learners will first record the word and its definition. Then they will use the letters from the word to write an original acrostic, using words or phrases that they associate with the vocabulary word for each letter. 

Explicit vocabulary instruction and tools such as this support all learners and are especially valuable for English Language Learners and students needing additional vocabulary development. This versatile worksheet is intentionally flexible to support vocabulary-building efforts in an upper elementary or middle school classroom or at home.
