What it looks like at home:

  • Structured: When you ask, “How do you know?”, they reference the Vocabulary strategy they used.
  • Structured: They bring disciplinary vocabulary, nuance, and idiomatic meaning to brief writing or journaling tasks with fading support.
  • Unstructured: At meals or car rides, they use Vocabulary language without being prompted.
  • Unstructured: Short games or conversation prompts highlight disciplinary vocabulary, nuance, and idiomatic meaning and keep practice playful.

Connections & integration ideas (Parents)
