Vocabulary Ladders: Understanding Word Nuances Level 5

Vocabulary Ladders feature a "cluster approach' to teaching many (semantically or meaningfully related) words at once, much like a thesaurus. Students not only learn vocabulary, but also about the shades of meaning between similar words. Each lesson contains a theme and cluster of words that students will use in contextual and writing exercises. Lessons include an introductory page for the teacher with the objective, list of materials required, answer key, and additional words. Includes 20 lessons that should take approximately 10 minutes three to four days each week. 144 pages, reproducible for classroom use, softcover. Digital resource CD with reproducible teacher resource materials and student activity pages included. Grade 5.
