Vocabulary is Essential for Common Core Success

Catherine Gewertz responds to Sarah Sparks article, "Students Must Learn More Words, Say Studies" which I have posted on 2/7 /13.  She connects one of the six anchor standards for the language strand of the standards to success in Common Core.  Gewertz translates this to what teachers can do in early elementary school with specific examples teachers can use from K to grade 5.  Great examples!

What do you do in your Title I groups to improve academic vocabulary?  Share your comments.
