Printable Vocabulary Worksheet Templates!

Make vocabulary building activities fun! Oftentimes, explicit instruction of vocabulary can be dry and boring for students. However, Storyboard That's digital and printable worksheets can spice up any vocabulary lesson!

Vocabulary templates and graphic organizers are used to help students visually organize and keep track of new vocabulary words and their definitions. These templates for vocabulary above are designed to be used digitally or offline. Teachers may customize our free printable blank vocabulary worksheets for their students to enhance their learning on any subject!

Starting a unit or lesson with the key vocabulary that students will see in their readings or presentations aids in overall comprehension and retention. Vocabulary is the foundation of language. Becoming acquainted with new terms and concepts is crucial for students to have a thorough understanding of any unit. Storyboard That's vocab chart templates can help!

Why are Vocabulary Templates Important and How are They Best Used?

Academic achievement in any subject depends on a students' ability to grasp the concepts and apply them. Acquiring an extensive vocabulary is critical in achieving this goal. Educators know that expanding students' vocabulary is the key to expanding their reading comprehension in more advanced texts. However, improving students' vocabulary needs a multi-faceted approach. Most students are visual learners. When students define and illustrate each term using Storyboard That's graphic organizers, they will master the application of it and retain it as part of their lexicon. By illustrating and using new vocabulary words and their definitions students' will increase their understanding of any topic whether it is science, social studies, math or language arts.

Far better than simple vocabulary lists, vocab charts and graphic organizers often have places for students to draw a picture, write a sentence, and use context to help solidify the student’s understanding of the word and its meaning. There are many types of vocabulary templates that get students engaged with the words they are learning. Teachers can choose from different styles of worksheets above such as a vocabulary chart template where students can benefit from graphic organizers such as the Frayer Model which encourages them to not only know the definition of a new term or concept, but also its characteristics, examples and non-examples. Teachers could also use a vocabulary word template where students can focus on one word or concept at a time and demonstrate their understanding by writing the definition, synonyms, adding an illustration and using the word in a sentence. If there are many new and unfamiliar terms to focus on, teachers could provide students with a vocabulary list template that includes all of the terms. They could combine more than one in a sentence and create an illustration that demonstrates the meaning of multiple words. Teachers could also provide students with a more generic vocabulary sheet template that can provide students with more choice on how to demonstrate their understanding.

Other Vocabulary Resources

Storyboard that knows how important it is to integrate explicit instruction of vocabulary within any subject. Visual vocabulary storyboards are a part of many of our units and lesson plans in English language arts, science, social studies and even math! For example, most of our in depth novel study units include a lesson on vocabulary like this one from the popular novel, The Wild Robot .

When studying about new places, people and events in social studies, students are bound to come across new and unfamiliar words. That is why most of our social studies units include a vocabulary building activity like this one in our unit on the American Revolution .

Science teachers know that student success depends on their ability to integrate brand new words and concepts into creating hypotheses and conducting experiments in class. All of our science lesson plans were created by veteran science educators with this in mind which is why most include visual vocabulary boards like this one for States of Matter .

Many language learning programs are focused on the immersion method which is widely considered to be the most effective way to learn a foreign language. However, within this method is a need to explicitly teach new vocabulary for future application. Storyboard That has many lessons and applications for teaching vocabulary for English language learners as well as French and Spanish such as this lesson on Food and Restaurant Vocabulary .

How Does Vocabulary Affect Comprehension?

When reading higher level texts in language arts and learning about new concepts in social studies, science and math, students are bound to encounter many new and unfamiliar words. Learning new vocabulary is key to increasing reading comprehension. Students cannot understand what they are reading or learning about if they do not know what most of the words mean. Explicit instruction surrounding vocabulary is essential for developing a thorough understanding of new social studies concepts.

How can Teachers Help Students with Vocabulary Acquisition?

Vocabulary development is a foundation for all subjects as all teachers know. There are many ways for students to increase their lexicon. Students acquire new vocabulary through exposure to the language from a range of reading materials, discussions and presentations. It is also beneficial to preview new terms and concepts that students will encounter and explicitly teach their definitions. Most students are visual learners and using visual vocabulary storyboards will help them retain the information for future applications.

Create more than 25 word activities instantly from just one word-list. All it takes is a list of words with accompanying clues. Use one of the many included lists or easily create your own. Then generate new original word activities with a single click. Includes crosswords, word searches, jumbles, mazes, decoding, spelling, and a whole lot more.

Text Activities

Cloze Tests for Reading Comprehension

I use the vocabulary worksheet software. I have subscribed to another software package this year. I have just wasted US $30.00. No other software comes anywhere near your products. Your stuff is easy to use and adaptable to Australian needs. All the worksheets I make using Schoolhouse Technologies software look professional and are easy for children to use. The one off payment gives me a solid product that I can use almost daily.

Spelling Practice

Provide spelling practice and assessments in a variety of contexts. Turn any word list, text passage, or sentence collection into an instant spelling activity. Misspellings are automatically generated based on common typo, phonetic, and other spelling errors.

Word Searches Plus

Why settle for just the common style of word search? Mix things up with these word search variants: Word Angles, Wacky Trails, and Missing Vowels. With any of the word searches, employ a word bank or clues or both. Hide words in up to eight directions. Even use start bubbles to aid discovery.

Word Banks with a Twist

Word banks can be added to almost every word list activity to aid in solving the activity and to provide self-correction. But an extra fun challenge can be provided by turning the word list into its own jumble. Words can be reversed, split and rejoined in mixed order, or just completely scrambled. A puzzle within a puzzle.

I have been using the Vocabulary Worksheet Factory puzzles to teach math vocabulary and spelling. They are a big hit with the kids. Spelling and word recognition has improved. I assign them as homework and they return them completed dying to check the answer keys. I have left them as review work when a substitute teacher has been needed. I use them as a warm up exercise on Monday mornings...Keep up the good work.

Clues in Unexpected Places

We expect to find clues in crossword puzzles but not normally in word searches. So imagine a word search that, instead of a word bank simply providing a list of the hidden words, has a set of clues that must first be solved. Now imagine that option being available in 16 additional word puzzles from jumbles to decoding. A whole new level of challenge.

11 vocabulary homework ideas and how to motivate students to do it, by: vocab gal.

Homework is such a valuable formative assessment for both teachers and students, and yet students are motivated* by many different factors when it comes to their desire to actually complete the work. In this article, I'm sharing how to motivate students to do their homework and 11 vocabulary homework ideas and worksheets that work in grades 1–12. Plus, preview and grab my 7 Options for Vocabulary Homework Kit .

How to motivate students to do their homework.

As a teacher, I try to concentrate students’ learning on activities done in class, because asking some students to complete work at home can be daunting. Many times in my career I have been discouraged when more than half the class does not return to class with their homework assignment complete.

Yet we only have so many minutes with our students, and we need them to practice the concepts and skills they are learning until the knowledge becomes ingrained. Most students have a homeroom, study hall, or other downtime during the day in which they could complete activities, they just have to be motivated to do it.

Many studies cite “student choice” as one of the most important factors in inspiring students to learn. When students have the opportunity to select what questions to answer, what activity to complete or what role to play, they tend to feel more comfortable and confident about performing.

Additionally, research shows that when students are dedicated to a task important to them, like improving their video game scores, or optimizing their success on a playing field, they will go to great lengths to improve. While probably not as meaningful as their video game level, students will be more excited to answer questions about themselves than a generic worksheet.

By providing students with both choice and a topic that is personally meaningful, homework can be a great learning exercise as well as an important formative assessment.

Steps to Ensure Students Complete Homework

There are a few other motivating factors that can help establish homework as a meaningful part of a student’s educational experience. Here are suggested steps a school, parish, department, or teacher might take to ensure successful homework completion.

Step One First, confirm that students have a strong rapport with their teacher(s). While it is difficult to cultivate a deep relationship with each student, teachers should strive to show students that they value their students and are committed to helping them learn and grow to their fullest potential. I would encourage teachers not to assign homework for the first few weeks of school until they develop a classroom community of respect and appreciation for learning.

Step Two Second, once the classroom community has been established, teachers should specifically explain the importance of homework as a way of deeply ingraining knowledge. Teachers should also make it clear that homework is a meaningful formative assessment where both they and their students can understand what students know and where there are knowledge gaps.

Step Three Third, some students may be quite unhappy when being mandated to do specific work. Therefore, teachers should stress the choices a student gets when completing their homework and that students get to complete the work that best reflects their own sense of self.

Step Four Finally, the teacher should praise students individually, as well as praise the class when homework is turned in on time. Many students thrive on positive reinforcement and also many may feel guilt if they let their classmates or teacher down. Additionally, as many teachers know, a word of encouragement or a small sticker can make the difference to many.

How to Respond When Homework is Not Completed

When at last it comes time for homework collection, there will be students who did not complete the assignment, no matter how well it was set up. Teachers can again encourage students who did not complete the homework in time to think about what may motivate them to complete it. If a student seems to dislike direct mandates, providing support such as, “I know that you value your learning and will find a way to demonstrate your abilities,” might be more effective than, “Turn in your paper by Thursday or it’s a zero!”

For others who seem driven by the need to please or help others, teachers might encourage students by stating, “I’m disappointed that you weren’t able to complete your work on time, and I know you will submit your work in order to show us both what you know and understand,” might work better than, “Don’t you want the credit for this assignment?”

Vocabulary Homework Ideas for Students

For this post, I have a few homework assignments that model these ideas. Both in my new It's All About Me vocabulary practice page, and my tried-and true,  7 Options for Vocabulary Homework bundle, students are motivated to continue their learning because they have both choice and a focus on themselves, a topic in which they are already invested.

My new It's All About Me Vocabulary Activity tasks students with answering a series of questions about themselves using vocabulary words in context. On the first page of this download students will list their vocabulary words and write their own brief definitions. On the second page student will answer eight prompts. Each response should include at least one of the vocabulary words from their list in context . In each of their answers students must underline the context clues that would help someone unfamiliar with the word understand what it means.

With the 7 Options for Vocabulary Homework bundle, students can choose from a variety of fun and engaging activities for learning or reviewing vocabulary words. In addition to the homework selection sheet, the bundle includes worksheets for vocabulary homework ideas number five and six. The other vocabulary homework options can be completed on a plain piece of paper or in student workbooks.

Here are the vocabulary activities listed on the 7 Options for Vocabulary Homework handout:

#1 Say Your Words

Do you love the sound of your own voice? Do you tend to learn information by teaching others? Then try saying each of the vocabulary words, out loud and in context, to friends, family, strangers, etc. Use either your flashcards or your list of words, and make sure to get initials from someone who heard you say your vocabulary sentence. If you can’t get a signature, just explain when and how you said the sentences and we will invoke the HONOR SYSTEM! Create two sentences per word.

Do you love to write? Do you copy your notes to help you remember information? Then try writing two sentences for each vocabulary word. These can either be two individual sentences for each word or you can put all of your words together in a story. (If you write a story, you only have to use each word once). Have fun and get creative – amuse me and impress me, but make sure you use your vocabulary words in context!

#3 Write Your Words in Other Classes

As an alternative to the above “Write your Words,” use your vocabulary in your assignments for other classes – social studies essays, science notes, art descriptions, etc. Write down the vocabulary you used for this assignment (For example: On my science test I said “Newton was meritorious,” etc.). You can abbreviate your explanations slightly, as long as I understand you know the word’s meaning; remember to use each word twice.

#4 Become Your Words

Do you gesture when you talk? Is it hard for you to sit still? Then consider creating motions to go along with your words. Cry for lament , raise your arms in praise for approbation , etc. See me during class to “perform” your motions, or write them down, making sure that the connection between word, meaning, and gesture makes sense.

#5 Draw Your Words

Are you an artist? Do you constantly doodle? Then create cartoons or drawings that illustrate each word’s meaning. Create one drawing or cartoon per word and make them neat, using clean white paper (consider using recycled paper that has printing on the other side). Paperclip all your drawings together for the end of the week.

#6 Sing Your Words

Do you love to sing? Are you constantly creating your own raps? Try rewriting the lyrics to a song to incorporate each of your vocabulary words or write your own song, rap, etc. You can also write poetry; regardless of the form you choose, the words should be used in the correct context.

#7 Test Your Words

Do you want to play teacher and write the test as well as take it? Now you can! Create a vocabulary test using all the words in a variety of different types of questions. Make sure to create the answer key to the test as well.

Download the 7 Options for Vocabulary Homework bundle and have students keep the selection sheet in their binders. Now they have seven weeks of vocabulary homework assignments!

Additional Vocabulary Homework Ideas

Ultimately, establishing a culture of community and trust in the classroom, explaining the reasoning behind and the benefits of homework, and providing choice and meaningful topics can make a significant difference in completion rates. Even if homework is not completed on time, teachers can still work to connect with each student to provide motivation to complete the assignments.

As educators, we all strive to make learning exciting and applicable to our students. By setting up clear expectations and providing interesting options, we can make any homework, including vocabulary homework, meaningful and valuable to students.

 *I have recently completed Gretchen Rubin’s audiobook The Four Tendencies about what motivates different groups of people. Many of the ideas about motivating students come loosely from her book as well as my own observations. I highly recommend the book to anyone wanting to learn how to better motivate themselves and others.

5 Downloadable Vocabulary Activities that Make Words Stick

Make word study fun and engaging for your students.

The best way to teach vocabulary is to get our students to use  vocabulary. These five free downloadable vocabulary activities from Read it. Write it. Learn it. will help your students master their vocab list in no time!

1. Allow students to choose their own vocabulary words with Word Up! Bookmarks.

The best vocabulary words are chosen by students. Start by giving each student a copy of the Word Up! bookmark (I recommend photocopying on cardstock). Instruct students to copy down words they are unsure of or powerful words from their nightly reading. Encourage students to use context clues within the text to define their words. Model the process with them and practice in class. If students cannot unlock the meaning of words using the context clues, show them how to use print and online dictionaries for help.

2. Set up a Word-Master Class Challenge .

Once students start collecting vocabulary words, encourage them to use the words in their speech and writing. Use this downloadable to create a word wall and choose a word of the day. Then, enjoy the vocabulary magic that follows! The student who uses the word of the day most often during a class period wins the prestigious title of Word Master.

3. Teach definitions with a QR code project.

QR codes are fun and interactive, and any student with a smart device can access the content linked to the code. Use this downloadable to guide your students through the process of creating student videos that define word-wall words. Students will then email you their videos, and you can use the provided link to create a printable QR code to add to your word wall. Students simply scan the code to view the video definition of each word on your wall.

4. Encourage students to use powerful vocabulary in their writing.

Give students this printable chart to help them apply vocabulary from your word wall into their own writing. Students simply choose three words per week, challenge themselves to use the word in the proper context as often as they can, and then share their favorite line in the last column of the chart.

To extend this activity even further and deepen students’ understanding of the words, ask students to complete the Words With Power one-pager included in this download. This activity will allow students to share favorite lines from their personal writing, displaying the line along with the literal definition, figurative and connotative meanings, and visual representations of the word.

5. Play the Word Up! Game .

Engage students in learning their vocabulary words with the Word Up! Game. This super fun game is similar to the game Heads Up. Students write all of their word-wall or vocabulary words on the provided task cards. After shuffling the cards, one student chooses a card without looking and holds it up to their forehead. The rest of the students provide clues that will help the student guess the word. Students will have a blast and learn new vocabulary at the same time!

Learning vocabulary can be engaging and fun with the right tools. The key to making vocabulary stick is encouraging students to actually use the words we want them to learn. For more engaging and motivating vocabulary activities, check out the Read it. Write it. Learn it. store.

Free Vocabulary Notebook Template for Studying Vocabulary

One way for students to improve their vocabulary studies is to use a vocabulary notebook. I’ve create a free template you can use to create an interactive notebook; to download it: Get the free template .

Incorporating a vocabulary notebook into a language classroom is a great way to encourage students to focus on learning words:

• It gives them a way to collect all their words in one place
• See How do I remember words
• This Vocab Victor template features a way for students to quiz themselves by groups of ten words
• Over time, notebooks will show them their vocabulary progress (and can also be used for review)
• Research shows that students remember things better when they write out their notes by hand
• The notebook centers vocabulary as worthy of time and attention

Here is a video showing how to set up and use the template:

Setting up the template

This template works with a standard 70-page, college-ruled, spiral-bound notebook. It is designed to teach 100 words:

• 50 sheets with words (one word on each side)
• 10 sheets with quizes
• 9 sheets for the index

To set up the template, print page 1 on white paper.

Cut it out and tape it to the front of your notebook. Fill it out with your name, the date, you class information, etc. If you are keeping more than one notebook you can number them.

Print out page 3 on colored paper. Each rectangle is used to quiz a word. Cut out three sides, and fold the fourth.

Number the first 10 pages in your notebook. Be sure to use both sides of the paper! This will let you learn 100 words in the notebook. Don’t number the 11th page. Instead, tape the quiz page here. (You can number and add quiz sheets now to all the pages, or do it as you go along.)

Print out page 4 on white paper. Cut out one of the tab strips; If you are a teacher, I put multiple strips on each sheet to save paper.

Cut out each tab. Tape it to the notebook, starting with XYZ on the last sheet in the notebook, then UVW on the second-to-last sheet, and so forth.

Finally, print out page 5 on white paper. <img src = “/img/Page5.png” width = “50%” alt=“Page 5 - Back cover” title “Tape Page 5 to the back cover!"/>

Trim it and tape it to the back cover. These are some word puzzles for you to do.

Using the notebook

You can either use the notebook to learn word lists that your teacher gives you, or add your own words as you find them in reading, talking to people, watching TV, etc.

The instructions on the inside cover provide a template for each page.

• In the middle of the page, draw a circle. Write the word in the circle.
• Now draw lines, following the template, to divide the page into four sections.
• In the upper right, write down where you learned the word. Then, write down a sentence using the word.
• In the upper left, write down the meaning of the word. You can look up the definition in a dictionary, but it’s better to use your own words so that you are sure to understand it.
• In the bottom right, write down associations for the word. These can be synonyms, similar types of things, opposites, or even the translation for the word in your language.
• In the bottom left, draw an image to help you remember the word. This can be a picture of what the word is, or any picture that will give you an association.
• Go to the quiz page. On one of the rectangles, open the flap and write down the meaning (or translation) for the word on the sheet under the flap. Now close the flap and write the word on the outside. This gives you a way to review your words so you are sure you understand them
• Now go to the Index page for the first letter in the word, I. Enter the word and the page number. As your notebook fills up, you will be able to look up your words and find them easily.

That’s it! If you find this notebook helpful, please share the link to this page on social media! If you have feedback, please contact me and let me know !

Vocabulary Questions Homework Template Freebie

• Easel Activity

Description

I developed this Vocabulary Question Template sheet to give to my students for homework practice. It works really well with the Journeys (TM) vocabulary questions that appear in the Teacher's Manual, but not in the students' books! I think Journeys (TM) does a FANTASTIC job with vocabulary development for my students. There are tons of great activities I do in class. But I wanted students to have some practice with the words at home. Otherwise, some parents were completely unaware that the children learned vocabulary (they assumed their spelling words were it). I was never a big fan of "write sentences for your vocabulary words" as an assignment because I'd get back papers that said, "I know how to spell absolutely," or "I know what segregated means," or "Look at that agenda." So to help my students practice, I created this template worksheet so they could practice thinking about applying their vocabulary words to their own lives, as well as practice using them in the context of their writing. Each week I simply photocopy that page in the Teacher's Manual, trim it to fit inside the box, and make my copies. You can even save paper by making double sided pages with lines on the back for students to write their sentences. Please Note: This product is designed for use with the Journeys program. This free product DOES NOT INCLUDE lists of vocabulary words, or vocabulary questions. Journeys provides these questions in the Teacher's Manual.

✅ Update: Teachers Pay Teachers has included a digital overlay. This means you can upload it directly to your Google Classroom from this site. Students can type answers in the boxes provided. ✨✨✨Are you looking for more reading products for your fourth graders?
