Students are working on this very important reading concept to expand their vocabulary. Students have learned to notice, tune into and use new and interesting words that they hear and read. If it's one they don't understand, they are encouraged to use other resources, ask an adult or friend or ultimately read on to try and figure it out (think about what makes sense).
In our classroom, we will build an ongoing wall of new and interesting words we come across as a class. We will discuss the meaning and think of examples. Students are encouraged to share these with you. I encourage you to do this at home with your child(ren) as well!
