The Common Core State Standards place a great deal of emphasis on vocabulary in both the elementary and secondary grades. This workshop describes a program that meets the Standards and includes other important aspects of a comprehensive vocabulary program. More specifically, it deals with Teaching Individual Words, Teaching Word-Learning Strategies, Providing Rich and Varied Language Experiences, Fostering Word Consciousness, and Tailoring Instruction for ELLs. Wisconsin State Reading Association (WSRA) will be presenting at this workshop. This session is open to K-12 teachers and will provide a wealth of knowledge. 

Learning Outcome:

1. Participants will review what is all involved in a comprehensive vocabulary program.

2. Participants will be introduced to word learning strategies.

3. Participants will learn about rich language experiences.
