Remember, the important parts in implementing Book Embedded Vocabulary Instruction are: Planning, Pre-Teach, First Encounter (during the first reading of the book), and Second Encounter.
Now that you have read and seen each step separately in Book Embedded
Vocabulary Instruction, notice the entire strategy in action as
you watch the following video of Kim, a VPK teacher. It might be helpful
to print and preview the bookmarks that Kim prepared while Planning this
lesson.
As you prepare to watch Kim’s Book Embedded Vocabulary Instruction lesson,
print and review the Observation Sheet and use it as a guide as you view
the video.

LET'S REFLECT
How did Kim redirect the children who wanted to discuss other
topics?
Why do you think Kim paused after she finished the sentence where she chose to recall the definition?
Why did Kim recall some of the words in different places than she did in Pre-Teach?
Why did Kim turn the page for the word “tower” and point to the picture? (This is an optional strategy depending on your group’s reaction.)
