    I hope everyone had a great new year and is ready to head back to school. We have in-service on Monday, and students return Tuesday. A reader requested for some resources to help students use and practice commonly confused words. Click on the images below to download the free Bingo game.

             I am still working hard on creating resources for my tier 1 students during their spotlight time. Spotlight time is when we provide intervention and enrichment for all students. Today I have for you a vocabulary cube, matching cards, and a vocabulary list with definitions for text features.

1. Cut out all of the pieces of the vocabulary cube. I like to color-code my sets. Every text feature is yellow, parts of speech are pink, and so on. 
2. Then laminate each piece and store it in a sandwich bag or small container. 

Vocabulary Cube Student Directions: 

1. Either in teams, duos, or solo lay out all of your pieces on your table. 
2. Next match the pieces together, make sure the definition and examples match on all the sides with words. 
3. The first team, duo, or student to finish correctly wins! 

    You can download the set here. I am working to create a new page on my blog with all of the RTI2 materials I’ve created and will be creating. The page will be up in a few weeks! 

I Have…Who Has is an easy-to-play game that is a great way to practice essential language concepts with the whole class. As students match up the answers on their cards with questions on other students’ cards, they get valuable practice with vocabulary and listening skills. The game requires students to focus and listen carefully to decide whether the definition matches one of their words. 

Directions: 

• Randomly distribute the cards among students. 
• Everyone gets a least one card, but many students will have more than one. 
• The student with the start card will go first. 
• The student will say “I have the start card “Who has” definition for ______”.
• The person who has the word being defined calls out “I have” followed by the word. 
• That person then reads the “Who has” definition on their card. 
• The game continues until all the definitions have been read. 

• I Have…Who Has Most Common Prefixes 
• I Have…Who Has Most Common Suffixes 
• I Have…Who Has Most Common Roots

           I am currently working towards creating practice sets for vocabulary to be used during out spotlight time. Spotlight time is our RTI2 time for students in all tiers. Students in tier two and up have a set curriculum they follow. Our tier one students do not have a specific curriculum. Their time is for enrichment and is often taught by teacher’s aides.   I’ve started to create some sets and I am ready to publish one of the sets. I would love feedback. The set contains the following:
