myVocab

Research emphasizes that vocabulary development is a vital part of all content learning, and the link between vocabulary knowledge and comprehension is undeniable. To deepen students' knowledge of word meanings, students should be taught both specific words and word-learning strategies. With an instructional plan that includes how to select words to teach and activities that engage students in exploring word meanings, myVocab helps students attain a deeper understanding of language and concepts so that they can steadily expand their repertoire of words and phrases.

myVocab outlines an instructional plan in which rich vocabulary instruction occurs daily and includes both definitional and contextual information about each word or phrase. The instruction actively involves students in word-learning activities and provides continual exposure to meaningful information about words.

myVocab activities provide many opportunities for students to explore the meanings of words that are related to books they're reading and that they're learning in various content areas or subjects. By using these activities, students develop concepts, learn the meanings of words, and make associations among words. The interactive activities and games offer opportunities for scaffolding, differentiation, and assessment.
myVocab assessments help teachers evaluate how well students are solving, defining, and applying the words that have been targeted for instruction.
