Don’ts:
- Don’t just look up vocabulary words in the dictionary, in order to build vocabulary.
Instead:
oRelate new word to already known words.
oUse vocabulary strategies that promote active engagement of learners
oPromote learners’ discussion
- Don’t just promote unsupported independent reading, this alone does not foster reading achievement.
Instead:
oKeep coaching and feedback to learners in order to support text selection and reading strategies.
