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).

30 tier 2 vocabulary words
