What do scientific explorations of the development of the brain \nreveal about literacy development in the intermediate and middle grades –\n specifically, vocabulary and comprehension development? Considering the\n instructional implications of these explorations together with those of\n developmental and pedagogical studies, this edWebinar addresses:
\n
\n
How brain development in students ages 8-14 supports – and in turn is supported by – effective vocabulary instruction
\n
How teachers can realistically apply the most effective research-driven practices for teaching word-specific and generative vocabulary – morphological relationships and Greek and Latin word roots/affixes
\n
How students’ developing understanding of the spelling system \npowerfully supports vocabulary development and reading in the \nintermediate and middle grades
\n
How students’ developing vocabulary knowledge interphases with \nongoing comprehension and understanding during the actual process of \nreading
\n
\n
This recorded edWebinar is of interest to teachers of Grades 3–8, literacy coaches, and curriculum leaders.
