2. The teacher reads the class a few pages from a chapter book (Charlottes Web) each day. The book contains many new words that the children never heard of and the teacher stops to explain and teach them what the word means.
3. Word Study is something that is a very big focus in my classroom. The teacher is constantly talking about different words and seeing if the students remember what it means.
4. One activity that is done very often in my classroom that promotes word study is their weekly spelling tests. The teacher doesn't just hand out the words to the class to study, she goes through each word and talks about the meaning of it, why it's spelled that way, which vowel sound we hear in it... etc.
5. The classroom I work in includes children on all levels, some already reading fluently, and some children still struggle to get past one word. When the teacher explains the work, she does so very slowly and clearly so that ALL students can understand. If when she gives out the work some students still have a hard time completing it, the Teacher's Aid (thats me!:) takes them out and helps them do the work by assisting them in any way they need.
