This session is designed to train teachers in Implicit Vocabulary Instruction. Implicit Vocabulary Instruction is the teaching of important and useful words during reading to expand students’ word knowledge and support text comprehension. It is one component of a two-part approach with Explicit Vocabulary Instruction to achieve both breadth and depth of vocabulary knowledge.
Through analysis of master teachers’ techniques and deep practice, participants in the session will develop understanding and strengthen skills with:
- How to select and define words worthy of instructional attention in the midst of reading
- How to prioritize and reinforce words based upon their importance, with minimal interruption to the text
- How to support students’ ability to use new words and reinforce their understanding of a text by practicing words in context
