Teaching Vocabulary to Children Example Lesson Plan Create a set of memory cards for the children with a total of six cards arranged in two rows of three cards. On three cards are new vocabulary words and on the other three are the pictures that correspond with the words Have the children turn the cards face down, shuffle them, and then rearranged them in two rows of three cards each Have the children turn over two cards at one time, and if the picture and the word correspond to each other than the child earns a point and takes the cards off the field The goal is to have the children associate pictures with words

Ideas for Classroom Setup Teachers can hang the students’ vocabulary pictures on a wall in the back of the classroom Teachers can have a little shelf of English books and encourage the children to read them whenever there is free time

Encourage Students to Read More and to Write More Assign the children a little reading each week and ask them to complete it At the end ask the children to read the story out loud together Once all the students finish reading the stories, ask the children to write down a little summary of the reading and draw a little picture Create a chart with all the children’s names on it and place a star next to each student who completed the task of reading, speaking, and drawing

Encourage Students to Read More and to Write More Lesson Plan Example Give the students five words each week that they have to make five sentences out of Give the students some examples and ask them to draw pictures next to the sentences also to clarify their meaning Have the students share their pictures with each other and turn them in Games http://pbskids.org/games

Poster Activity Give the whole class a large poster and have the children write sentences all over the poster. Have the students use as many new words as possible and have them decorate the poster.
