LITERACY TIP
Research suggests that offering children a quick, kid-friendly definition of a word in context is one of the best ways to teach children new words. Intentionally choosing a few words to focus on at a time is key. Use the words of the week provided in these storytime plans throughout your curriculum and plan ahead to hone in on the most useful words for your students.
