hands of one who knows how to choose and combine them (Pikulski & Templeton, 2004). There is a
certain magic behind using word-play activities that helps develop a creative and innovative way for
students to begin looking at words. Free-writing journals are a great way to encourage experimentation
with words (H.P.,1999).
Other important strategies for teaching vocabulary include repetition of the word or words, using
technology, experiential learning, a variety of assessments, and meaningful contexts in which to learn the
new words (Diamond & Gutlohn, 2006). A teacher should use many different strategies and experiences
to teach vocabulary because the use of only one is not effective (Diamond & Gutlohn, 2006).
