Teachers Helping Teachers:

Vocabulary instruction is an important component of literacy instruction in preschool. It also provides children with an understanding of a variety of words which in turn can help with later reading comprehension. Vocabulary instruction is valuable as it builds the foundation for later reading skills, such as comprehension. A child needs to be taught vocabulary in many different ways.

Using Quizlet At The Younger Levels:

Below you are going to find a nice review quizlet made by icvc.early.learning that seeks to provide a great review resource for you.

Save the link and use it to do any or all of the following:

*Create Review flashcards to send home of the Early Learner words and the sentences tried out in class

*You can play games with them

*Share the link with parents- they can hit play in the car or at home to have the flashcards flip through and review items learned in class

*You can hit play to preview the terms and sentences or review them with your kiddos

*I LOVE doing repeat-after-me activities where the Quizlet reads it and then my kiddos repeat it.

*projecting onto your board, then sounding out the words together is key with the focus being on JUST the words and sentences without the busy pictures and activities around them.
