We all know that our DHH learners need to be taught vocabulary intentionally for a number of reasons. We also know that students need to be exposed to vocabulary words several times in order for them
...to internalize them. Vocabulary development is a crucial skill for our DHH learners. I created this resource for teachers to provide to families and/or older students during summer break.Encourage families to join this vocabulary exposure challenge over the summer! This resource contains 7 summer-themed word lists that can be given to families and students. Challenge families to take action and pick at least one word per day to use with their DHH learner in context. Have the families talk about the words with the students. Or, you can encourage your older students to pick one word a day to use and look up. Along with the lists, there is a chart that can be used to track the words that are used weekly.This could also be used as a resource for ELL learners or enrichment for students.
