Introducing Reading Vocabulary Marzano's Steps 1 - 3

This three part series demonstrates how to use Marzano’s six step framework to support students' vocabulary development, and is based on the Australian Curriculum for English, Foundation to Year 10.  Whilst the content is especially suited for use with students from middle primary to lower secondary school, the skills can be applied to all levels of schooling.

In Part 1: Introducing Reading Vocabulary Using Marzano's Steps 1 - 3 you will learn how to explain new vocabulary that students encounter in their reading, by restating words in meaningful contexts based on what students already know, and using visual prompts to show the meaning of words.
