This resource offers comprehensive strategies for teaching vocabulary to children, particularly those with learning needs. Word Aware 3 is invaluable for educators aiming to enhance vocabulary skills.
This engaging resource serves as a practical guide for teaching vocabulary and word learning skills to children aged 6-11 who struggle with vocabulary acquisition. Word Aware 3 is tailored to meet the needs of various learners, particularly those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) or those who speak English as an additional language (EAL). By addressing the challenges these children face, the book provides effective strategies to enhance their learning experience.
In Word Aware 3, educators will find a wealth of concrete activities and resources designed for small group settings. These easy-to-implement interventions aim to break down the barriers posed by vocabulary limitations, ultimately helping children access the curriculum more effectively. The book emphasizes a practical, evidence-based approach, ensuring that vocabulary learning is both engaging and impactful.
Additionally, this resource includes photocopiable and downloadable planning materials, evaluation tools, and staff training resources, making it a versatile addition to any educational setting. It can be used independently or as a complement to previous editions, such as Word Aware 1. While primarily aimed at younger learners, the strategies can be adapted for older students with significant learning needs, making it an essential tool for teaching assistants, learning support assistants, and special educational needs coordinators (SENCOs).
"I think it’s a fantastic resource and an important part of a whole school approach to vocabulary teaching; it has strengthened my SLT toolkit and been well received in schools" – Julia Henly, Senior SLT, Children’s Speech and Language Therapy Service, Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust (RCSLT Bulletin)
