In class, we share exciting storybooks that will help grow the number of new and interesting words that your children can use and understand when talking. The words are not every day used words, they are more complex to extend vocabulary usage when speaking. We also focus on 2 Maori words per book.
I like these story books because they are relevant and students understand the content. Here is an example of a book and the vocabulary we focus on. We are also focussing on critical thinking and have extended discussion about the book. We read one book per week to really solidify the vocabulary and the students are able to retell the story.
Here is an example of making the learning visible in the classroom:
Don't know which book is my favourite!!
