[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Much better to have kids read what they are interested and challenge them to find words they don't know (make a game, reward per every 10 unknown words, whatever) and use those as the list. They will have seen it in context. Vocabulary learned from lists is forgotten SO easily and often used improperly. Also, encourage them to put on subtitles/closed captioning when they watch videos/movies--this will help them link visual and spoken words even when they are not technically "reading."[/quote] Thank you so much. Reward is such a good idea![/quote]
