Vocabulary Writing Prompt questions

Can I use my own spelling or vocabulary list?

Yes — that's the point. Edit the entries to feature your current words so the writing practises exactly what you're teaching.

How does this help vocabulary stick?

Using a word in an original sentence or scene forces students to understand its meaning and shade, which fixes it far better than copying a definition.
