In this episode:
I talk about the what, why and how of using the mini lesson framework to teach vocabulary and word study skills in your upper elementary classroom.

We talk about:
1.What is vocabulary and word study instruction?
2. Why does vocabulary and word study instruction matter in the classroom?
3.How can I use the mini lesson to vocabulary and word study skills?

Quotables:
-Students need access to word study and vocabulary instruction in the upper elementary classroom in order to help them read and understand text on a deep level.
-In grades 3-5 students are required to read multisyllabic words and need to be taught how to do this.
- The mini lesson is the only framework that respects student attention spans and builds in a way to move students from novice to apprentice intentionally and effectively.
