I am trying to create a routine in the classroom that will benefit everyone where everyone will be able to go onto Rosetta stone while in the classroom. I am going to try duting center time as a part of the speaking grade and see how it works,
When I meet with specific groups on Saturday is when they will receive their spelling and vocab quiz. The students should know what the words mean regardless, but the vocabulary words will be written out for them where each student will have to know what it means. I give a word bank so the english words are spelled correctly. I am trying to figure out a way where the students can also use Rosetta stone at home or similar activities which wi;; improve their speaking. Rosetta stone is a good product but the one problem I find is the students have to speak clearly and loudly into the microphone which makes it frustrating at first, but with time they will become more familiar with it they will also get better.
They did very well on the spelling/voacabulary quiz last week and this week during spelling, I will say the word and say it in a sentence and repeat the word. This is where the students need to study the words. Every parent can give their students a spelling test and ask them what the vocabulary words. Every week it will be much easier to the students because they are using dictionaries to find out what the word means. This takes time to get used to.
