INTRODUCTION

Daily Skill Building: Vocabulary is a complete, 36-week vocabulary curriculum for students grades 5-6. This simple, straight-forward approach to vocabulary building is easy to use and encourages independent study. With busy homeschooling moms in mind, this curriculum was created as an “open-and-go” resource (without the need for a teacher's guide.)

The 36-week format is designed to be flexible — meaning you can assign more than one word a day if you wish to complete it sooner.

Each week presents four new words (one per day) with a weekly review on day five. Your student will be asked to define the new word using a dictionary, use it in a sentence, and list synonyms and antonyms.

Every 4th week includes an additional review using the most recent 16 words studied plus a short writing assign-ment.

For your convenience, we include a glossary of words by week and order studied. Students may use either the glossary for their daily assignments or a dictionary.

Ideas for Vocabulary Review:• Study the glossary to enhance retention• Incorporate copywork and dictation• Quizzes and tests using glossary• Writing Assignments using a specified number of words from each week’s lesson

Note: Dictionaries will often have multiple definitions of words. When compiling our glossary, we chose the defi-nition that provides the best fit for each word for this learning level.
