Some days you stumble on something that reminds you there are plenty of resources out there from folks just dreaming up ways to make your lesson planning easier. This morning I was delighted and intrigued to find such an email from ReadWorks.org
If you’re at all like me, I often want to reinforce a specific vocabulary word through multiple texts but finding all those texts can be hugely time consuming. Not to mention being able to find texts with the same vocabulary word AND in the same reading lexile. Thank you ReadWorks for your free Vocabulary Text Sets!
If you’re a ReadWorks fan, or have some other favorite resources for reinforcing vocabulary through text sets please share with a reply.
Thanks for reading!
