A quick scan of any picture book reveals the treasure trove of vocabulary words to be found in children’s literature. In this dynamic, research-informed edWebinar, Dr. Molly Ness will empower attendees with practical strategies to make vocabulary instruction both effective and joyful. She will explore the why, what, how, and when of explicit vocabulary instruction, using beloved read-aloud books as a source for rich words as well as valuable teaching and learning opportunities.
By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
- Understand why vocabulary is foundational to reading success
- Identify high-impact vocabulary words
- Apply direct, explicit instruction techniques using student-friendly definitions, think-alouds, morphology, and more
- Design engaging, playful activities to teach and reinforce vocabulary
Following Dr. Ness’s presentation, Angela Cammarata will provide a short preview of Zaner-Bloser’s comprehensive English language arts curriculum, The Superkids Reading Program.
This edWebinar will be tailored to K–2 teachers and literacy leaders, and attendees will receive access to Dr. Ness’s new white paper on vocabulary instruction. Join us to explore the plentiful, engaging world of words at our fingertips in the books we read aloud! Learn more.
