Extending the Learning throughout
your Daily Routine
The documents listed below provide you with additional resources to incorporate
the principles of Think, Show, Tell, Talk throughout your daily routine.
The Planning Sheet is a blank template to guide you in Planning vocabulary activities
throughout the week. The Planning Sample Sheets are examples of what a completed
Planning Sheet might look like. A Parent Letter is also included for your convenience
to connect vocabulary development between school and home.
Planning Sheet Printing Directions: Upon printing out the Planning Sheet or Planning Sample Sheet, you will notice that there is one Think page, one Nouns page, one Adjectives page, and one Verbs page. In preparation for Think, Show, Tell, Talk, you are encouraged to use the Think page to plan and choose your target word. After deciding on your target word, determine if the word is a noun, adjective, or verb. Then, complete the appropriate part of speech page to finish preparing for Think, Show, Tell, Talk.
LET'S REFLECT
If you are not able to actually act out the verb, how can you define the word for the children?
How can you contextualize words that you choose for this strategy?
Why might “nose” be a poor word choice for this strategy?
Now that you have read about Think, Show, Tell, Talk, we encourage
you to choose another instructional strategy, Book Embedded Vocabulary
Instruction, Dialogic Reading, and Language Scaffolding from
the Language and Vocabulary folder.
