Vocabulary Instruction Ideas on the Web

General education and special education students can become increasing independent in expanding their vocabulary within thematic units by researching word origins on web sites such as www.wordorigins.org or www.westegg.com/etymology/ or www.word-detective.com

High school students preparing for SATs and adults dedicated to crossword puzzles can challenge their vocabulary by linking to www.etymologic.com to play “the toughest word game on the Web.”

Connect with SERC’s Diversity on Education Initiative for professional development opportunities relevant to the vocabulary development of English Language Learners.
