I would be sure to always be introducing new vocal words but to be purposeful about them. I would have a new set every two weeks. The current set would be displayed on the walls. We would have reading that would connect to the vocab words. I would go over them each morning and provide a picture, definition, and an example in a sentence.

A strategy that I really liked was word walls. This something that is effective because it is in the classroom and the students see it everyday. Another way would be graphic organizers. Student could put the word in the middle and put other things around it that represent and help the student to remember the word.
