Vocabulary words are a key component of a child's reading. The more vocabulary words a student knows the better understanding they will have of the text (Colorado, C. 2022). With a class that is diverse, it is important to use classroom pre-teaching strategies that will combine learning to help ELL learners while teaching them new words and allowing them to place the words in a context that will help to remember the words later. Some examples are role play, showing and pointing to pictures, using gestures, and having students read both words in Spanish and in English (Colorado, C. 2022).

2-Metacognition
3-Graphic and Semantic organizers
4-Answering questions
5-Generating questions
6-Recognizing story structure
7-Summarizing
