Using the Word of the Week Program  
Designate a set time at the beginning of the week for introducing each  
Word of the Week. Separate the target word, its definition, and the cartoon  
along the perforated edges. (Note: The words, definitions, and cartoons  
are all numbered to make keeping them together easy.) Display them in  
the pockets, leaving room at the bottom for student-written sentences.  
Discuss each word, including its part of speech, definition, and use in the  
cartoon. Have each student write a sentence using the target word in class  
or as a homework assignment. Focus on the word, using some of the tips  
below, for a week. When you are done, store the materials in the handy  
storage pocket on the back.

Here are some ways to review the target Word of the Week:  
• Post and discuss a new student-written sentence each day.  
• Keep a tally on the board each time the word is used appropriately  
during the school day.  
lug  
• Have students bring in and share newspaper headlines or sentences they  
have copied from books or magazines in which the target word is used.  
• Add the target word to your weekly spelling test as extra credit.  
• Create a word wall by writing each new word on a sentence strip and  
posting it. This attention-getting visual display will remind students to  
use their new vocabulary words in their everyday speech and writing.  
Students can also add synonyms below the words as they think of  
them during the week.

Using the Reproducible Pages  
Quiz 4  
We have included a quiz or activity for each group of ten words. The  
quizzes can be used for both pre- and post test assessment. In addition,  
we have included a Make-Your-Own Cartoon page. Having students create  
their own cartoons for the target words in the program is an excellent  
way of checking and reinforcing their understanding of word meanings.  
You may also have students choose words from their reading to illustrate.  
Display the cartoons or make copies and bind them into a book for your  
classroom library, or submit them to the school newsletter.  
Here are some tips to inspire your budding cartoonists:  
Across: 2. slumber, 5. amble, 7. feign,  
8. timid, 9. thorough  
Down: 1. jostle, 2. scrumptious,  
3. jaunt, 4. flaunt, 6. bedlam
