How might students
demonstrate mastery of this?
➢ applying knowledge of homophones when writing
➢ applying knowledge of word roots and affixes to understand the
meaning of an unknown word
➢ applying knowledge of context clues when reading independently
➢ using new vocabulary words across
multiple contexts
➢ using word reference materials in an
authentic manner
What next?
Process Skills
How might students demonstrate the content?
Process Skills:
➔Problem Solving: I use effective strategies
to solve a problem.
➔Reasoning: I describe why I think my
strategy makes sense when solving a
problem.
➔Communication: How do I explain this ?
➔Connections: I show how this is like
something else I already know.
➔Representations: How do I show my
thinking.

Essential Knowledge, Skills, and Processes
From the framework
To be successful with this standard, students are expected to:
- use knowledge of homophones (e.g., be/bee, hear/here, and sea/see) to understand unfamiliar words.
- apply knowledge of roots to decode unknown words with the same root (e.g., company, companion).
- apply knowledge of affixes, (e.g., prefixes such as ex-, dis-, un-, re-, mis-, non-, pre-; suffixes such as -ly, -ful, -less,
-able, -tion, -ness, and –ment) to decode words
- determine the meaning of new words formed when a known affix is added to the known word (care/careless)
- use knowledge of synonyms (e.g., big/large, mad/angry, ache/pain).
- use knowledge of antonyms, (e.g., asleep/awake, smile/frown, start/finish).
- use context clues to verify meaning of unfamiliar words and determine appropriate homophone usage.
- use context clues, such as a restatement, a synonym, an example, or a direct description or definition included in
the sentence or paragraph, to clarify the meaning of unfamiliar words.
- apply understanding of language structure to make meaning from text by
°
using transition words of time sequence (e.g., first, second, next, later, after, and finally);
°
using transition words of compare-contrast (e.g., like, unlike, different, and same); and
°
using transition words of cause-effect (e.g., because, if…then, when…then).
°
using vocabulary from history and social science, mathematics, and science; and
°
using the glossary, dictionary, and thesaurus as reference resources to learn word meanings.
How do we make all of this relevant?
Problem Solve
How do I effectively use reading strategies to
figure out what a word means?
- use knowledge of homophones
- apply knowledge of affixes to decode words and
understand word meanings
- use knowledge of synonyms
- use knowledge of antonyms
- use context clues to verify meaning of unfamiliar words
and determine appropriate homophone usage.
- use the glossary, dictionary, and thesaurus as reference
resources to learn word meanings.
Reason
Can I describe my strategy?
Does it make sense?
Is this strategy effective and efficient?
- use context clues to verify meaning of unfamiliar words
and determine appropriate homophone usage.
- use context clues, such as a restatement, a synonym, an
example, or a direct description or definition included in the
sentence or paragraph, to clarify the meaning of unfamiliar
Communication
Can I explain this to someone else?
Do I know this word well enough that I
can teach the word to someone else?
I can describe what the word is, and
isn’t. I can explain the context that
the word is used in. I understand
multiple meanings and their context.
Mountain
The top of the mountain was covered in snow.
My teacher assigned a mountain of homework.
Connect
How is this like something I already know?
How can I connect this unknown word or
idea to something known so I remember
it?
- apply knowledge of roots to decode unknown words with
the same root (e.g., company, companion).
- use vocabulary from history and social science,
mathematics, and science
Connect
My mother said her life revolves around me!
Is that a problem?
Connect
I heard a word . . .
I didn’t know what that word meant until . . .
I saw the word . .

Represent
How do I show my thinking?
Deep Enduring Understandings
★ I want students to understand that in real
life . . .
. . . words matter. Words give me the power
to communicate who I am. Knowing words
helps me understand what I hear and what I
read.
I want students to develop word
consciousness, a curiosity about words and
the ability to express and be understood
through written and spoken language.

★ Why does this matter?
Word knowledge gives me
world knowledge!
