You will see a table where you can assign a set of vocabulary words per TEKS. Select Start to preview the lesson.
After assigning a Vocabulary Boosters lesson, students will receive a set of flashcards featuring essential vocabulary from the current unit of study to help them prepare for the STAAR test. As they review each flashcard, students will read the sentence and choose the correct vocabulary word to complete it.
The cards include audio support for students. They can have the sentence stem read to them by selecting the Speaker button on the left.
If an incorrect answer is selected, the flashcard will flip over to reveal the correct word along with its definition. Students must achieve a score of 80% or higher to successfully complete the activity. If a student scores below 80%, they will be prompted to try again. They will continue attempting the activity until they score above 80% or reach a maximum of three attempts.
This activity not only helps students practice their vocabulary but also reinforces key science terms and concepts, supporting their understanding and retention of critical material. To learn more about assigning activities, please visit How to Assign An Activity - Dynamic Sciences.
