SUMMARY:Explicit Vocabulary Instruction
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that vocabulary is key to reading comprehension? Readers must know what the words in a text mean in order to comprehend that text. And\, as children learn to read more advanced texts\, their vocabulary needs to grow with them. We invite all parents and caregivers to join us for a brief learning session on how you can help build your children’s vocabularies. During our time together\, we will share quick and easy activities you can do with your children that will help develop their word knowledge. \nClick Here to Register
