  Case: Reading Unit
In a first grade unit students are required to read the Wizard Of Oz. What are some strategies to help teach first grade students this very hard vocabulary?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
To teach vocabulary, you could create a "yellow brick road" with yellow index cards. On one card write a word, on another, draw a picture. The student would then match the two cards, and create a sentence to help understand the word. This would allow them to make a realistic connection, and understand the vocabulary when it is seen within the text.
