Vocabulary Strategies

When taking guided reading sessions I was always trying out new strategies. Here is my first set of Vocabulary Detective cards. They are designed for teachers to flip through when planning guided reading sessions to ensure they are using a variety of strategies for exploring vocabulary. Download the first set of cards from the Vocabulary Detective section of my website.

Reading Comprehension – Interpretation

Adrian — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 09:15:53 +0000

One of the great things about working in so many schools is that I get to meet some really talented teachers. Sometimes I can convince them to make their resources available to the world. Tonight’s reading comprehension resource comes from a particularly talented STLD (Support Teacher Learning Difficulties) who works tirelessly to bring the joy of reading to her students.

Thanks a heap sister!!!

I’ve just fixed an animation and added some new teaching notes on how to encourage children to rise above the mundane in their writing.

Hmmmmmm, WordPress really doesn’t want to embed the flash animation. You’ll have to head off to the website to see it.

Word Game Supplement :)

Early on in creating my ‘word games’ I decided to supply a blank template so that when people made their own game based on my games they could email me their work & I could share their work with the world.

So thank you Shandra! – your contribution will be helping teachers & students all over the world almost instantly.

Download the word game here!
