Building Vocabulary

Shannon and Mary focus their conversation on how to build students' vocabularies.    They share less effective methods used in the past and how they've evolved their vocabulary instruction to help students the most.   In the chat, they reference ideas from Bringing Words to Life by Isabel Beck.  Episode Links for Resources mentioned:How do we teach the Language Comprehension strand of Scarborough's Reading Rope?Word Building:  20 root words and 14 prefixes= 100,000 words (Dyslexia Associates)Academic Word Finder (AchievetheCore.org)Word Study that Sticks: Best Practices by Pamela Koutrakos  *Amazon affiliate link*Llamophones by Janik CoatHow to Teach Vocabulary for Reading ComprehensionRoutine for Explicit Vocabulary InstructionMorphological Awareness TestResearch update:  Morphemes, Meaning, and Dyslexia10 Quick Vocabulary Activities (from the Twitter teacher)Vocabulary Routine Cards:   (source unknown) ReWordify to locate Tier 2 vocabularyBuild Vocabulary Frayer model:  Thinking map templates:  FCRR 2nd and 3rd grade Vocabulary activitiesFCRR 4th and 5th grade Vocabulary activitiesGoogle Slides Forced Copy of Shannon's created vocabulary slide showGoogle Docs Forced Copy of Shannon's created student vocabulary pageCOME JOIN THE CONVERSATION!Our WebsiteFacebookInstagramShannon's TpT StoreSupport the Show.Get Literacy Support through our Patreon
