20 words on one double-sided sheet.
No grading required.
How it works
Students preview 20 words from the reading, each in a sentence that supports understanding.
An optional post-reading quiz uses the same 20 words in excerpts from the text. Use it after reading, or skip it entirely.
Why it works
The pre-reading activity supports comprehension and primes students to notice the words in context. The optional post-reading quiz reinforces the same words while using excerpts from Psalms.
Highlighted words:
adversary, afflict, congregation, contrite, forsake, guile, habitat, heathen, nevertheless, perish, persecution, pestilence, posterity, refuge, reproach, reprove, strife, testimony, transgress, wrath
Why these 20 words?
Selected automatically for:
- grade-level challenge
- academic usefulness
- frequency in the text
- confidence in contextual meaning
