JOYcabulary: Make Three Shifts to Develop Language and Build Knowledge
By making three simple shifts- mindset, intention, extension- teachers provide students with authentic opportunities to learn and use words while refining prior knowledge. Learn how to build text sets with picture books, poems, articles, and digital media. Walk away with ways to extend and apply new knowledge of words with an array of games and engaging tasks.
