Vocabulary Development
Consider the vocabulary and background knowledge pupils need when accessing a new text.
Include an introduction to the setting of the text and pre-teach vocabulary the pupil may struggle to understand (Pupils have access to a vocabulary list linked to the book and their national curriculum stage).
Use a range of strategies to support the words found during the reading session.
Choose tier 2 words within the context of your topic/story e.g. succeeded, untangled. Introduce these words giving clear meaning of the new words in the context of the story. Model meaning in different contexts and throughout the day. Pupils give examples after teacher modelling. Pupils are able to use these words in their own writing.
