In our morning routines, we rotate between PWIM and Poem of the Week. During Poem of the Week, one of the things that we do is pick out the juicy words in the poem that are hard for us to understand. We will put our juicy words into Vocabulary City to help us practice and learn those words throughout the week.
PWIM is a Picture Word Induction Model, where we pick out words that we can find in a picture. When we do PWIM, we focus on different parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc.) when finding words. Every day we do something different with these words; we make lists, we put the words into sentences, practice our hand writing and printing, and other activities. We then put the words into Vocabulary City so that we can have more practice with these words.
I know this Vocabulary City has an APP that is free on tablets and apple products. If you would like to check it out I have saved the last two word lists so that the students can play around with them.
