My students love Boom Cards. They are very engaged during their independent practice and review.

I used this with an 11th grader who is alternate assesment. I had to skip some of the words but I really liked that it was a challenge for her. It really taught her how to use context for clues. However, I really would have liked some antonym examples in there or just using clues from the paragraph just as it is explained in the beginning of the boom cards. I will use this again with varying levels because it is good vocabulary practice.
