Vocabulary is the cornerstone of literacy and knowledge-building, but integrating robust word learning into daily instruction can be a challenge. In this edWebinar, join experts from The Reading & Writing Project to explore actionable strategies for embedding vocabulary and morphology instruction into your teaching practice.
Learn how to select high-leverage words from shared texts and experiences to maximize students’ vocabulary growth. Discover quick, engaging ways to introduce new words and help students use them repeatedly in meaningful contexts. You’ll experience lively activities and games that make vocabulary practice fun and effective, ensuring students truly “own” their new words.
The edWebinar will also dive into the power of morphology—teaching word parts like roots and affixes—to unlock vocabulary and support reading comprehension. You’ll see how these lessons can fit seamlessly into your existing workshop structures, from read-alouds to writing instruction.
Throughout the session, you’ll gain insights from the latest research and practical examples of how teachers successfully build vocabulary instruction into their classrooms. Walk away with tools to help students grow their vocabulary, deepen their understanding of ideas, and confidently express their own powerful thoughts.
