Talk:Reading Strategies Discussion - Reading Comprehension & Vocabulary/@comment-28518194-20160524055307

When I was working on my teaching credential, I had to do an assignment where I tutored ELL students in the English language. I gave these students a reading comprehension test and found out that they were at a second grade reading level. I then created activities to help them with comprehending English. The students were most interested in learning new vocabulary. I took note of words they came across in our reading that they did not know. I then showed the students visual examples of what those words meant. I found other readings with those same words to expose them to the vocabulary and had them practice using the words in conversation. I used a lot of repetition. Those students picked up the words quickly.
