Vocabulary bookmarks can be used as a way to keep track of vocabulary, or anything else that fits the academic purpose, throughout the reading of a lengthy text. The benefit of using the vocabulary bookmarks is that they can be inserted directly into the book itself.
PREPARATION:
Print Student Resource: Vocabulary Bookmarks, ideally on cardstock paper.
STEPS
PROVIDE BOOKMARK: Provide students with a copy of Student Resource: Vocabulary Bookmarks.
USE BOOKMARK WHILE READING: As students engage in reading from a text, they will use these vocabulary bookmarks to track either unfamiliar vocabulary or other key terms as defined by the educator.
COLLABORATE: If reading is occurring independently, build in some class time for students to collaborate with other students to share their vocabulary bookmarks.
ADD NEW BOOKMARKS: Encourage students to add new bookmarks based on their collaborative conversations.
VARIATION:
Students can work with study partners to use these bookmarks to study for quizzes and/or exams.
This strategy can also be used with Instructional Practice: Vocabulary Log.
Add or adjust the format as needed to fit the academic purpose.
