NZ$10.00

Description

Our Tier 2 Vocabulary Explicit Teaching Slides for Year 8 are a dynamic and effective tool for exploring word meanings. These explicit teaching slides are a great companion to your structured literacy programme. Expanding students’ vocabulary is crucial for improving their reading and writing skills. Studies have shown that students with larger vocabularies perform better in school, especially in reading. 

The refreshed New Zealand English Curriculum supports a structured literacy approach, including “Explicit teaching of new abstract and discipline-specific vocabulary to support comprehension” (p23).
 
Our Tier 2 Vocabulary Explicit Teaching Slides for Year 8 (Set One) include:
  • 30 tier 2 vocabulary words
  • a range of interactive activities to explore each word
  • editable template slides for you to create your own vocabulary slides
Our explicit vocabulary tools provide:
  • simple definitions
  • examples and non-examples
  • semantic activities (synonyms and antonyms)
  • word family activities
  • visual aids
  • brief discussions to make connections
  • checks for understanding to ensure effective learning
  • student-created definitions.
 
We have designed our Tier 2 Vocabulary Explicit Teaching Slides:
  • For use with your whole class (explicit instruction teaching model).
  • As PowerPoint presentations (these can be used in Google slides, too)
  • For short regular sessions. You choose how many words you explore each session.
  • With a wide selection of skills included in a randomised order.
  • To have a quick pace to keep engagement
  • To work as review slides. Revise regularly to reinforce previously introduced words.
