This ten-session course broadens vocabulary for 8th graders in multiple ways, including definitions of words, usage in context, stories, quiz questions and pairing of words with similar ones. This is an ideal way to foster vocabulary development. Vocabulary included in this 8th grade course includes terms such as juxtapose, velocity, technical, surmise, validate, abhor and many others. 8th grade is a target level for this course, but depending on a child's vocabulary development it may be useful for other or younger children.

This 10-session vocabulary course offers a way for 5th graders to broaden their vocabulary learning, or gaining a deeper understanding of, the meaning and usage of words such as: dedicate, withdraw, enact, pasture, garment and many others. As a 5th grade course the primary age target is 10-11 year olds. However, younger and older children may benefit from the course depending on their level of vocabulary development since there is some variance in each child's language development compared to what might be considered 'average' for a given grade level.

This course will expand a 7th grader's vocabulary by introducing new words in multiple ways, through explaining word definitions, using words in sentences, providing new words alongside words with similar meaning, telling stories involving the words and other games and activities to support vocabulary development. This repeated exposure to vocabulary in different contexts enables deeper comprehension of the meaning of vocabulary so that it can be applied appropriately in written and verbal communication and comprehension.

Dave R. Stuart Jr.’s work is centered on a simple belief: all students and teachers can flourish. Yet that seemingly simple goal can feel unattainable when teachers are expected to teach core content within the disciplines and improve literacy in their classrooms.

Stuart’s advice: Take a deep breath and refocus on six known best practices—establish and strengthen key beliefs, then build knowledge and increase reading, writing, speaking and listening, and argumentation in every content area, every day.
