What are some strategies to help teach first grade students this very hard vocabulary? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I always struggled with vocabulary growing up. I had one teacher who strongly encouraged me to try to visualize the vocabulary. She began to pull pictures or video clips for me to see the vocabulary word put in action. I am a very visual learner and then helped me tremendously on vocabulary. The Wizard of Oz is such a great visual piece. Hopefully this will help.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Visualization is a great way for learners to understand vocabulary. It would be important for English Language Learners to be provided with the picture or video clip to learn the word. The solution would be very beneficial to learn the vocabulary for the Wizard of Oz.

Many students are visual learners and I think this would be helpful to a ton of kids. The Wizard of Oz is definitely a visual book so this could be a fun way to help students to learn and understand the new vocabulary. Rated On: October 17, 2014 9:57 pm Rated By: esaSaV
