Vocabulary, Discussions, Strategies, etc.


These are some ideas we came up with during our RTI sessions.  As we come up with more ideas, we'll update this list.

  • Look at the whole word.  Don't look at the first part and then guess.

  • Make sure the word makes sense in context.

  • Try and sound the word out; if you recognize parts of the word, say those.  The word may come to you as you say what you know.

  • Take your time and read fluently, not quickly.

  • Remember one goal of reading is comprehension.  How can you understand what you are reading if you don't know the words?  Never skip over a word you don't know unless you plan to come back to it after you've looked the entire sentence.

  • Read only the words on the pages, don't put your own words in.


We've studied the following vocabulary words during our RTI sessions.  

Challenge:  Try and use them in sentences in the fabric of your lives.  When you have succeeded in using words in a variety of well-rounded conversations, let us know.   It's great to create images in your hearer's head as you speak.  And here's a relief:   don't fret if you don't come up with a unique idea right away. Fortunately, these words have a remarkable way of roaming around and showing up when we least expect them.  That's where the excitement comes in!  Be daring; don't worry about causing a wreck; there's nothing fragile here!  When you're dedicated to something, your hard work will pay off swiftly!
  You'll be a proud member of the vocabulary citizens team!
