As we continue our journey with remote and hybrid learning, vocabulary is a great way to review or revisit content and expand students' "word wealth". Zaretta Hammond says that, "Vocabulary development (or what I call "word wealth") is essential for equity. Every classroom should have a robust word study program integrated into the teaching of content."
In our summer virtual workshop, educators had the chance to experience the SAY IT micro-routine which combines verbally repeating a new word with image association.
Watch the facilitation of this routine to get ideas for increasing word retention developing other ways to build a word study culture in your classroom.
