01

What Students Need to Do

Students group and link words by meaning, including categories, opposites, and familiar associations. They use pictures, sentence clues, and simple references to check an unfamiliar word.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can name a word related to a given word and explain the connection. The student can use a picture dictionary or word wall to choose a meaning that fits a sentence.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may match words because they rhyme or begin alike, even when their meanings do not connect. They may guess from a picture alone without checking the sentence or a reference.

04

How to Assess It

Give students a picture dictionary and read, “The enormous elephant could not fit through the gate.” Ask them to find enormous, circle large or small, and name a related word.

1. 01

   Have students sort picture cards into food, animals, and clothing, then explain why each card belongs in its group.

2. 02

   Read, “Mia wore a scarf because the air was chilly,” then ask partners what chilly means and which words helped.

3. 03

   Play Word Link: one student draws a card, says a related word, and explains the connection before passing the turn.

4. 04

   Use the lunch menu to find an unfamiliar food word, check a picture dictionary, and draw what the word names.
