Victorious Vocabulary Instruction for Remarkable Reading
Vocabulary development is an essential skill for reading and overall academic achievement, yet it’s a commonly neglected area of instruction. This course provides a review of research that supports daily vocabulary instruction using words selected from existing curriculum or any content area. Explicit, consistent instruction leads students to vocabulary growth and a greater love of language. Word mastery and confidence is achieved from daily routines that engage students with new words in a classroom community that promotes academic risk-taking. Planning, teaching, and assessing components are covered for teachers who want to inspire their instruction with a love of words their students need to know.
