School-Wide Vocabulary Project

For years I have shared the research and work of Patrick Manyak titled Character Trait Vocabulary: A Schoolwide Approach. Manyak explored the implementation of a schoolwide approach to teaching character trait vocabulary to improve students' comprehension and expressive language skills. The study focused on how explicit instruction in character trait vocabulary can enhance students' ability to understand, compare, and discuss complex characters in literature.

This project provides resources to make implementing this project EASY!

What's included:

• 25 words for each grade k-5
• word cards and pictures for bulletin board at each grade level
• Vocabulary instructional routine
• Ideas K-2 and 3-5 for additional character trait learning, processing, and analysis.
