Personal dictionary
My Word Bank is a personal dictionary that contains a wide range of commonly used words and space for students to record their own words. During any lesson where students are required to write, My Word Bank will be an essential companion. If a student needs a word but doesn’t know how to spell it, he/she can use My Word Bank to find the correct spelling.
If the word isn’t already located in My Word Bank, the student can look it up in a classroom dictionary then copy it into his/her writing and into his/her Word Bank. That way, the next time the word is needed, it will be at hand! Difficult to spell and commonly confused words are featured under each letter of the alphabet.
