Firstly, thank you for being a part of the vocabulary revolution! ViVa!! Together we can have a huge impact on understanding and application of vocabulary! Vocabulary Ninja is was born out of a desire to improve general outcomes for pupils within a classroom, stumbling upon vocabulary as a huge barrier.
Just as times tables are a pre-requisite to most mathematical investigations, vocabulary is to reading and writing. Without an in-depth understanding, pupils will always have barriers in learning and in life!
Well, you have passed the first test grasshopper! And demonstrated your worth!! I must reward your endeavour with this wonderful 140 page VocabularyNinja Word of the Day Resource Pack!
Remember, the true value of being a VocabularyNinja lies in time given, it is a gift. Time must be provided for discussion, demonstration, explanation, play, sharing, editing, rehearsal and celebration.
Simply showing pupils these words is not enough. Words unlock the doors to a world of understanding.
