• Students must encounter words in context more than once in order to learn them.
• Instruction of new words in context enhances learning those words.
• One of the best ways to learn a new word is to associate an image with it.
• Direct instruction works.
• Direct instruction on words that are critical to new content produces the most powerful learning.

• Sentence Frames add essential grammatical support so students can produce a competent response in the appropriate register.

Sentence Frames• Sentence frames help students use and understand
vocabulary and better understand correct sentence structures.
• Remember to always model the expected outcomes of the lesson.
• For example, if the intent is to use correct grammar, develop sentence frames that address the vocabulary + verb tense that students are working on and have them write sentence frames too.
![Page 31: Application of Academic Language for CCSS and SMARTER Balanced Department Chair and Teacher Leader Presenters: Kim Kumar and Dawn Abrams](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e6f5503460f94b6ca0c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Sentence Frames
• The sentence structure needs to take into account the functions you want the student to understand.
• When developing academic vocabulary words, make certain that students understand the meaning of the word and provide sufficient examples and modeling.
• Establish a purpose for the sentence frame. • The purpose of the sentence frame is to support the use
of specific types of words: conjunctions, transitions, articles, adjectives, comparative, verb tense, subject-verb agreement, as well as the structures for compound/complex sentences.
