Vocabulary
As we've discovered more and more about developing vocabulary, we've found it helpful to simplify ideas to two key elements:
- direct instruction (teaching words themselves, and teaching word-learning strategies)
- creating a language-rich culture (providing rich language experiences and fostering word consciousness and curiosity).
We believe both strands are essential.
