How to Use This Pack

Four pages of sentences with a new word underlined. On pages 1 and 3 children circle the picture of the new word; on pages 2 and 4 they circle what it means.

In the Classroom

Read the first sentence aloud and think out loud: "I do not know vessel. It sailed on the sea, so it must be a boat." Then let partners find the clue words in the next sentence.

At Home

When you read together and meet a new word, cover it and ask your child what word could go there. Then look at the clue words that helped.

Tips for Success

  • Read the whole sentence
  • Find the clue words
  • Try your answer in the sentence
