1 To give special Importance to emphasize STAAR Vocabulary Bingo For 4 th and 5 th Graders Free vocabulary builders

2 Teacher's Guide This STAAR vocabulary building game is designed to expose students to challenging words found on the 4 th and 5 th grade released STAAR Reading assessments. Definitions for these tough words have been written in student-friendly language on individual cards. To play, students draw definition cards from the deck and match them to the vocabulary words found on their Bingo cards. There are five different Bingo cards in this set. This makes the game perfect for centers or as an I'm Done activity. To extend learning, have students record previously unknown words in their reading journals or write sentences with their Bingo words. You may want to make a dictionary available depending on the level of your students. If you enjoyed this free item, please leave positive feedback and check out the other items I have available on TPT. --Amanda Guest
