Extending the Learning throughout your
Daily Routine
The documents listed below provide you with additional resources to extend the
principles of Book Embedded Vocabulary Instruction throughout your daily
routine. The Planning Sheet is a blank template that guides you in Planning vocabulary
activities throughout the week. The Sample Planning Sheet is an example of what
a completed Planning Sheet might look like.
Bookmark Printing Instructions: please note that four bookmarks appear on each page. You should cut each bookmark on the solid lines to separate them. The dotted line is a fold line. Fold on the dotted line in order to hook the bookmark to the specific page containing the designated target word.
LET'S REFLECT
What should you keep in mind when writing child-friendly
definitions?
During which two steps do you actually read the book and recall the target word definitions?
If there is not a picture of the target word on the page where the word appears in text, what should you do?
How many words should you choose to focus on for one book during Book Embedded Vocabulary Instruction?
Now that you have read about Book Embedded Vocabulary Instruction,
we encourage you to choose another instructional strategy, Dialogic
Reading, Language Scaffolding, and Think, Show,
Tell, Talk from the Language and Vocabulary folder.
