SUMMARY:Literacy Minnesota: Teaching Reading Vocabulary
DESCRIPTION:Vocabulary is everyone’s favorite reading component! And helping students master reading vocabulary is a key to helping them master comprehension. \nBut how many words should you teach? And which words are the most important? What strategies are best for helping students learn new words? How do you get students to make new words part of their receptive and productive vocabularies? \nJoin Literacy Minnesota Training Director Rob Podlasek to focus on the theory and best practice behind choosing\, teaching and reviewing reading vocabulary. You’ll get a chance to learn about (and practice) a variety of activities that can be done remotely or in person. Links to great online resources will also be provided. \nThis workshop will be most useful for instructors working with low-intermediate to advanced readers. \nPlease note that you may be asked to participate in discussion groups during the webinar. Please plan to join from a quiet setting where you can see the PowerPoint slides and use your audio. Advanced registration is required. Registration is open up until the webinar start time\, but we recommend registering at least one day in advance if possible. \nRegister here.
