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.
