Teacher Inquiry Focus

My inquiry focus is to be more aware if strengthening the students connection to the essential words will not only increase words knowledge but also their comprehension.

I am focusing on a core group of 5 students, both male and female.   

Inquiry Focus 3

These students have found it challenging to recall the list of 10 essential words.  With the use of different strategies and deliberate focus on the essential words there has been a marked progress from the first round of testing.
