Ep. 7 Book Club - Vocabulary Instruction...

AMANDA
About this episode

In episode 7 of Creative Kindergarten’s Book Club, we read and reflect on chapter 7 of Literacy Foundations for English Learners. Vocabulary has been one of my main focuses for literacy instruction in my classroom this past school year. I am committed to ensuring that I am embedding vocabulary instruction into all areas of my classroom. While reading this chapter, I reflected on how I can continue to support my English learners in gaining rich vocabulary knowledge.
