A comprehensive vocabulary is an essential foundation for literacy acquisition, correct writing, reading comprehension, and the ability to compose good texts. Such a vocabulary must be developed and secured in the early school years. With the practice-tested station training included in this volume, students can easily work independently on the fundamental words. The learning words cover seven important curriculum topics for first grade: family, colors, calendar, body, time, meadow, numbers. At the beginning of each unit, the vocabulary is divided into words to say together, words to think about, and words to remember. For each topic, there are twelve stations with varied tasks. The newly learned words are then reinforced through different new dictation forms such as can dictation, sneaky dictation, and shake dictation. At the end.
