Description
Each week you will introduce the weekly vocabulary words. Weekly words will be introduced before, during, and after reading the weekly passage with the class. The lessons will give your student all the information needed to understand when each word will be introduced within the lesson. This method of teaching vocabulary goes way beyond the traditional approach of simply assigning words for the week. It is well grounded research in what students need to develop a rich vocabulary.
This vocabulary instruction different in that it:
• Focuses on making connections between new vocabulary and personal experiences, rather than simply memorizing a list of generic definitions and words.
• Allows students several opportunities to play with words and their meanings, thinking deeply about how words can change meanings based on the context in which they appear.
. • Teaches students to notice word meanings and how those meanings impact the overall message of a text or oral conversation.
