Practical Ideas for Helping Students Learn to Live and Love Words

This workshop explores effective, research-proven word study strategies so that students actually remember and use words, rather than merely memorize and take tests about those words. The focus is on authentic vocabulary expansion techniques that encourage students to become more actively engaged in the texts they read. You’re going to learn more about:

  • Research on Vocabulary
  • Indirect Vocabulary Acquisition
  • List-making
  • Tiers of Vocabulary
  • Discriminative Self-Inventory Checklist
  • Key Word Strategy
  • Kinesthetic Vocabulary
  • Word Origins and Derivations
  • Context Clues
  • Vocabulary Quilts
  • Vocabulary Journals
  • Synonyms and Antonyms
  • Word Continuum
ALL POLICIES APPLY UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED IN THE INDIVIDUAL EVENT DETAILS.
