Now, we all know that Common Core is causing quite
a stir. There are certain mandates and guidelines and
explicit skills that we have to teach. But, did you
know that we have explicit vocabulary that we need to
teach?? We are talking more than 'vocabulary words'
that go with a piece of literature. We are talking about
THE REAL NITTY GRITTY vocabulary that is pretty
technical. Words like encoding, word analysis....etc.
So, I sat down here the other day wondering how I
was going to do that, when I got the idea to create
vocabulary posters that help with the definitions of all
of these technical words. So, I started with Reading
Foundational Skills 2.3 (for second grade) and created
posters that I think are going to be DYNAMIC and
change the way I teach. I envision using them during
mini-lessons as we think critically about the skills and
behaviors needed to express understanding. They
look like this! So far I have only worked on posters
for 2nd grade. I am toying with the idea of creating a
first and third grade set of posters as well if there is a
need for them. Is there a need for them?? I need
some feedback!! You can click on a pic to go to
Teachers Pay Teachers, too.

Would LOVE first grade posters, please!! Love your creativity! Thanks!
These look great! I would like third grade posters. Thanks!
These look great. Third grade would be AWESOME!!
I love the kid-friendly language on the posters. I teach ESL to grades K-8 so I would love to have them in any grades that you feel like making them.
Middle School, please!
