Here is a learning support for transition words instruction if you do that sort of thing with your students. This was a hot item at the school in which I worked for ten years in Lower Manhattan. These are tricky words to teach, especially to English language learners.

In our current political and social environment, I think there is a strong case to be made that students possess the vocabulary to describe and understand people whose ideologies trump common sense and the direct evidence of their senses. Maybe these two context clues worksheets on the noun zeal and the adjective zealous will go some distance to meeting that end.

Their characters are American icons at this point, and people (well, at least I do) still watch them, so here is a reading on Looney Tunes and its vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet.

Here is a worksheet on the Latin word root circum. It means, unsurprisingly, around. This root is at the base of at least two key words–circumference and circumstance–from the high school lexicon. Moreover, because it derives from the Latin, it forms the basis of a number of cognates in the Romance languages, particularly Spanish.

Last weekend it was one of Merriam-Webster’s Words of the Day, so here is a context clues worksheet on the noun foray. The word is in common enough usage, and more importantly is a word that, for an abstraction, has strong concrete properties. It is in common enough usage that it’s a word students ought to know by the time they graduate high school, I submit.
