You have seen and learned many strategies in the Language and Vocabulary folder: Language Scaffolding; Book Embedded Vocabulary Instruction; Dialogic Reading; and Think, Show, Tell, Talk. It is important to remember that children must continually see and hear new words until they begin to spontaneously and appropriately use the language. When you use the strategies in this folder and reinforce words by repeating them throughout the day and showing children visual representations of the words, you will see children’s oral language skills grow.
In conclusion, please observe Dr. Phillips as she brings all the concepts in this folder together in her final video interview.

Visit the Resources section for a quick link to the many resources provided in this folder.
Now
that you have read about the opportunities for integrating the strategies
into your classroom through the Bringing It Together section,
we encourage you to choose another instructional strategy, Book Embedded
Vocabulary Instruction, Dialogic Reading, Language Scaffolding,
or Think, Show, Tell, Talk from the Language and Vocabulary
folder. Visit the Resources section for a quick link to the
many resources provided in this folder.
If you have English language learners in your classroom, remember that
these children have different needs than native English speakers.
Once you have visited all the strategies, we suggest visiting this section one more time to review all four strategies.
