Read what teachers are saying about using Discussions4Learning with their students.
Research shows that students who develop strong vocabulary skills go on to develop strong reading comprehension skills. The most effective way to build student vocabulary is to give your students frequent oral language experiences.
Discussions4Learning:
- builds overall vocabulary knowledge
- repeatedly exposes students to advanced, academic vocabulary in a variety of contexts
- prepares students to comprehend increasingly challenging cross-curricular vocabulary
