Building Vocabulary and Dictionary Skills
Word Maps are a must for all lessons. Students should be able to write down any words that they have not understood . This is not confined to literacy alone but can and should be used for all subjects.
Words maps are excellent visual aids for those students that find spellings and new vocabulary difficult. Enhancing vocabulary is important across the board as it improves reading levels.
