New Word Bank

In Theresa A. Roberts book No Limits to Literacy for Preschool English Learners she states that we should be teaching children 12 to 15 new words a week.  These words need to be words that aid comprehension of story books, classroom themes and centers.

To keep us in check we created a New Word Bank board.  This board shows us how many words we introduced in a week as well as reminding us to be using these words throughout the week.  It is also a great way to show families what words are be learned so that they too can be using them with their children at home.
