Word Study Choice Board

Emphasize student choice with this high-interest, differentiated word study activity! Invite students to choose four prompts from the choice board and watch their creativity come to life as they think outside the box about their vocabulary words. Adaptable to a wide range of subjects, this choice board gets students thinking deeply about the meaning of a vocabulary term by exploring the word's basic information—such as definition, connotation, word parts, synonyms, and antonyms—as well as using more imaginative thinking to create riddles, playlists, short stories, and more with the word. 

Explicit vocabulary instruction and tools like this 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.
