Empowering ECE Students Through Vocabulary Development
Presenter:  Kerry Zarlengo
Thursday, November 7th
4:30pm-5:30pm
http://www.dmns.org/webinar


Young children enter school with vastly different levels of word knowledge, and research has revealed that vocabulary development is a vital part of all content learning. In this webinar, educator Kerry Zarlengo shares ways to use science content and activities to create word-rich environments that immerse ECE students in vocabulary development.

The discussion will also include mentor text, both fiction and nonfiction, for read-alouds because this best practice technique can also increase receptive and listening vocabularies when presented in a direct and explicit manner. You'll receive science-related ideas, strategies, and activities that will help build your students' essential vocabulary skills.
Participation in this webinar is free, registration required.
