Vocab-O-Gram

Use the vocabulary words in the word bank to make predictions about the book we are reading. You can use the

words more than once to make your predictions. Think about how you think the author of the book will use the

words in the story. List words that you think will go with each category of the story structure and then use those

words to make predictions and answer the questions about structure. If there are words your group cant use

because they are too unfamiliar, list those words at the bottom as Mystery Words.
