Subject: [etni] Teaching vocabulary
Are there any teachers experienced in teaching vocabulary that can give me some
advice? After teaching the book 'StoryClub" last year to my 5th graders, I find
that as 6th graders using the book 'Winner' they barely remember any of the
words. What methods and techniques are there to have the words stick? I don't
find that vocabulary quizzes and tests work as they just memorize the words and
forget them later on.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance,
Ilanit Zakowski
