Powerful Words...

Each year while taking the TCAP test, students read words that may be unfamiliar to them. In Gibson County, teachers are working hard to ensure that all students are able to recognize and understand the 12 Powerful words listed below. What makes the words powerful? These words encourage students to think at a higher level. We encourage parents to begin using these words in their vocabulary at home as well. Speak with your child's teacher to learn ways in which to incorporate these words into everyday conversations at home.

Trace, Analyze, Infer, Evaluate, Formulate, Describe, Support, Explain, Summarize, Compare, Contrast, and Predict

Listed below are several links we encourage you to use. Some of these links are for teacher use only and require a user name and password. The others are full of information about our school and district along with popular interactive sites.
