Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students learn the meanings of new everyday, school, and topic words from books, conversations, and lessons. They use those words in speaking, drawing, and early writing across different situations.
What Mastery Looks Like: Students explain or show a word’s meaning with a clear example, action, picture, or sentence. They use the word correctly during lessons and everyday conversations.
Common Misconceptions: Students may repeat a new word without understanding it, or use a related word that does not fit. They may think topic words belong only in one book or lesson.
How to Assess It: Show three pictures and name a recently taught word, such as habitat. Ask each student to choose the matching picture and use the word in a sentence.

Lesson moves

After a read-aloud, ask, “Which new word describes the character or setting best?” Students answer aloud, then draw an example.
Play Vocabulary Charades, with students acting out taught words while classmates name each word and explain the clues.
Take a school walk and have students name locations, signs, tools, and actions using words learned during class.
