If you are a principal or other school leader, here are some ways you can make vocabulary learning a priority at your school by getting students excited about playing the Vocabulary Bowl.
The Vocabulary Bowl is an annual competition that allows your school to compete with thousands of others across North America. The more words that your students master on Vocabulary.com, the better your school does on the Vocabulary Bowl leaderboards.
Overall winners on the monthly school leaderboards receive banners, and at the end of the school year the winning school gets a championship trophy in a special ceremony at the school. In addition, there are many other opportunities for your students to shine on the leaderboards, whether they are competing against schools on the local, statewide, or national level.
Since competition can be a powerful motivating force for student achievement, we would like to share some ideas about how you can inspire the students at your school to get involved with the Vocabulary Bowl, setting achievable goals that will provide incentives to keep them going on the road to vocabulary mastery.
Read these these tips for teachers and administrators in a new toolkit: Inspire Your Students to Play the Vocabulary Bowl.
