Integrated Vocabulary Google Slides - Suffixes, Parts of Speech, Context Clues

This digital resource was designed for students in upper elementary, middle school, and high school targeting vocabulary, syntax/grammar, and/or reading skills. The activities included in these Google Slides help students acquire deep knowledge about tier 1 and 2 words while learning strategies for reading, determining the meaning of new vocabulary, and using new vocabulary accurately! It integrates instruction and practice involving semantics (word meaning), morphology (word parts like suffixes), syntax/grammar (parts of speech), and inferencing using context clues. This resource is perfect for students working on any of the above areas, students with multiple reading/language deficits, and even for your mixed groups made up of students with different reading/language goals!

The included activities were created with the following principles in mind:
-Skills are more meaningful when they are not taught in isolation.
-An integrated approach helps students see the “big picture” of the vocabulary/concepts they are learning and why they are learning them.

-High quality vocabulary instruction with inclusion of morphological instruction will benefit students’ reading fluency and reading comprehension.
-Forming connections between unknown words and known words will help students acquire and retain new vocabulary.
-Incorporating grammar concepts like parts of speech, and emphasizing how each part of speech is used in sentences, can benefit students’ written and oral syntax as well as reading comprehension.
-Teaching students to analyze word parts and think critically about word meaning/part of speech using context and morphology as clues can improve inferencing skills.
