Vocabulary Building
A variety of explicit vocabulary-building activities enhance the study of the language of social studies.
Scaffolding
Scaffolded strategies help students as they encounter complex texts, challenging vocabulary, and text structures including passive voice and archaic language.
Research-Based Instruction
Instruction is rooted in research-based best practices, such as deconstructing language, focused language study, and explicit instruction for academic language in both the receptive and productive language domains.
