Participants will develop understanding of what core vocabulary is and how it can be represented in a variety of ways. We will discuss the importance of core vocabulary and the link between language and literacy development. Participants will explore use of core vocabulary in social and academic environments. Finally, we will discuss integration of core vocabulary with technology.
Participants will be able to:
• Identify major classes of core vocabulary
• State the importance of using core vocabulary
• Demonstrate use of core vocabulary in at least 3 different activities
• Explain how to foster language growth through basic core vocabulary
