Matching, mad libs, crossword puzzles, multiple choice, word searches, exploring definitions, sentence completion, and even “mystery” vocabulary lists!
Writing Prompts:

*There is ample room for students to respond to writing prompts within this consumable journal.
Cursive Copywork:
Each chapter has a cursive copywork exercise related to its theme. Each is a short, funny paragraph or poem that is fun to read and offers a quick practice in cursive writing. The handwriting practice is optional and located in the back of the book.
