Boost Spanish Vocabulary Retention with a Bilingual Vocabulary Notebook

Help your students expand their language skills with our Bilingual Vocabulary Notebook! This resource is designed to support language learners in building vocabulary in both English and Spanish. This Bilingual Vocabulary Notebook provides an organized and easy way for students to track new words, understand their meanings, and practice their usage.

What Is a Language Learning Notebook?

This Language Learning Notebook is a customizable resource perfect for fostering bilingual learning in Spanish/English Dual Language Classrooms. This notebook allows students to record, categorize, and practice vocabulary in both languages, making it a useful tool for ESL/ELL students or dual-language classrooms.

Ways to use the bilingual vocabulary notebook include:

  • Tracking new words and their definitions in both languages.
  • Practicing writing sentences with vocabulary words.
  • Creating personal word banks for specific topics or themes.
  • Drawing pictures to illustrate word meanings.
  • Categorizing vocabulary into parts of speech or language-specific rules.

We have included a series of pre-filled vocabulary pages for students to use to record the following, along with numerous blank pages for use with chosen vocabulary.

  • Colors in Spanish
  • Clothing in Spanish
  • Numbers in Spanish
  • School Objects in Spanish
  • Animals in Spanish

English Vocab Notebook Template Available As Well!

The vocab notebook template is easy to download and integrate into your lessons. We’ve also created an English-only version of this vocab notebook in case you’d like to take a traditional route and work with students on new terms, definitions, and visual representations.

To get started, follow these simple steps:

  1. Download the resource in your preferred format.
  2. Print the PDF version for ready-to-use workbooks, or customize the editable Google Slides version to meet your students’ needs. Print each student a 2-sided packet and staple it.
  3. Hand out packets, and have the students cut the pages in half and stack them up with the cover on top.
  4. Staple along the edge.

This resource is available in two formats:

  • PDF (ready to print) Bilingual and English-only formats
  • Editable Google Slides (fully customizable) Bilingual and English Only Formats

This resource was created by Kendall Britnell, a teacher in Colorado and Teach Starter Collaborator.
