One side of the bookmark has six tips and strategies for solving tricky words paired with key visual icons while the other side has lines where students can write down any tricky words they want to look up later in a dictionary or online. They can also note quickly if they had trouble saying it or just don’t understand the word’s meaning. Great tool for teaching Reading Workshop fix-up strategies or for ESL students learning to decode new words and learn new vocabulary! Combine this bookmark with a strategy minilesson on using Dictionary.com. The site is great because it gives and audio file for each word's pronunciation. Students can add words they find and learn about to their own personal dictionaries. See my other vocabulary ideas here, like "Vivid Vocabulary."

I have taught elementary school for 8 years with the majority of my experience in teaching 3rd grade in an urban setting with a majority of bilingual students. I speak some Spanish so I am better able to communicate with the parents of my students. I have also taught for one year each in 2nd and 4th along with sub experience in grades 1st & 5th as well. Currently alongside teaching third grade I am a mentor to new teachers as well as a workshop presenter on topics including Reading Strategies, Math Interventions, Classroom Management and Technology in the Classroom. I've also worked with children from infant to 18 years in other settings including early childhood development centers, after-school programs, summer camps, at-risk youth programs, juvenile detention centers and Special Olympics.
