Vocabulary Awareness Chart
Students self assess on vocabulary from a text.
Teachers can choose words or students can choose words
Scan the title, subtitles, captions, reading aids, and first and last paragraphs. Identify ten
words that seem important (for instance, words that are essential to the topic, content
vocabulary, or concepts). Once you have identified words, write them in the “Word”
column. Assess your own knowledge of each word by placing a check mark in the
column that best represents your understanding of each word.
Stand and Deliver!
