Scaffolded instruction supports struggling readers and ELLs while challenging advanced students.
Whether a Struggling Reader, ELL, or advanced student, systematic vocabulary instruction accompanied by high-interest readings and interactive activities increases reading proficiency through the use of:
- Robust vocabulary
Vocabulary instruction is most productive when it is aimed at words that are of high utility among mature language users yet represent concepts that are familiar to students.
- Multiple encounters
Repeated exposure to words through engaging reading, writing, listening, and speaking activities ensures that students retain newly learned vocabulary.
- Multiple contexts
Through multiple contexts, student gain a depth of understanding of each word, including its many forms, connotations, meanings, and syntactic constructions.
Over the course of each R.E.V. It Up! lesson each word is presented multiple times in multiple contexts so that struggling students and English language learners build toward academic success while advanced learners gain a richness and depth to their word knowledge.
