Quizlet - Changing the Way Students Learn and Practice Vocabulary

How I Use It

I upload our vocabulary units to Quizlet bi-weekly. We alternate between Flocabulary units and Roots/Affixes Unit. During our two week unit study, student practice spelling, basic definitions, as well as context clues practice through this application. Students have time during the class to practice Quizlet and they are encouraged (and rewarded!) for participating at home. Quizlet allows for students to practice in a variety of ways that range in difficulty levels. After using Quizlet, scores increased from a 50% pass rate to an consistent 85% pass rate. In addition, because of their understanding of the terms, roots, and affixes, students were able to incorporate these words in daily language and formal writing. I liked the fact that I could put in a set of vocabulary words for the whole class, then duplicate and edit these lists for ELL and special needs students.
