This week we investigate the world of vocabulary and fluency. Students learn words through various means. The teacher cannot teach every word needed so he must help students learn vocabulary through a variety of methods. Word origins play an important role in helping people understand words.
Fluency involves rate, accuracy, and prosody. It is important to read words accurately and in meaningful phrases to allow the reader to think about the text.
Your assignment this week involves choosing words for vocabulary instruction. Teachers and parents cannot teach every word that a student encounters. Selecting specific words to teach is an important skill.
