How do you make learning to use a dictionary and expanding your vocabulary fun and engaging? Try making Word Jars and typing your own stories using words that begin with the first letter of your name! After reading three books about characters that collect words and it's ohhhh so fun students can't wait to try their own hand at collecting words. Please note that using an "old fashioned" dictionary was modeled during the reading of Donavan's Word Jar, Max's Words and The Boy Who Loved Words. Next up, learning to use the online dictionary and tabbing between their word document and the online dictionary... the fun never stops!!!
