Students will enhance reading in all curriculum areas by: ** c. Building vocabulary knowledge  1. Demonstrate an understanding of contextual vocabulary in various subjects.  2. Use content vocabulary in writing and speaking.  3. Explore understanding of new words found in subject area texts. ** GENERAL OVERVIEW:  ** Vocabulary and its proper use are mandatory when learning science. Prior to reading from the text, vocabulary and definitions should be placed on the walls. This would allow students to refer to this information for correct spelling and usage during guided and independent instructional processes. The posters would be taken down during formal and informal assessments. This method of presenting vocabulary and definitions prior to beginning the learning process would stimulate the visual and hearing senses which are paramount in most students. ** STEP-BY-STEP  ** ** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:   ** **  Students Learn More When Multiple Senses are Used   ** Students will relate vocabulary to position, color and group. Reflect on process during and after unit is completed. Remember this is a living document. ** SOURCE:   ** Created By Tim McCoy
