RPI 6: Agenda - Vocabulary (& Decoding)

Today's RPI lesson has to date been my favourite, Morphology - all things vocabulary. Building an interest and love for words within my classroom has now become a goal for me to work towards. This has inspired me to begin a word wall. I am still thinking of how I will introduce, monitor and continue on with this but the deliberate robust teaching of words is an aspect of language that's very important. We dived deep and discussed key approaches to explicit vocabulary instruction. 

Morphology and morphemes are new words for me, though I now know this is a study of words including the way they are formed, how they relate to one another within language. Being conscious of words; having an interest and awareness of words, means we cant leave it up to chance and need to take a direct approach to ensure there is a system for exploring vocabulary in the classroom. I am excited to include some of these approaches and activities in my upcoming planning for term 4.

    Kia ora Hinemoana,
    What a great reflection on a very full day all about vocabulary! It's great to read that you have highlighted a few terms that you could explore further as well as the way you have connected with the importance of not leaving vocabulary teaching to chance.
    It's wonderful that you have identified some aspects of our learning that you're eager to put into practice already. I look forward to hearing about how you're thinking about creating your word wall. They're such a great resource!
    Have a wonderful term break and I look forward to seeing you for Day 7!
    Ngā mihi,
    Amie @ the Manaiakalani Reading Practice Intensive
