Introduce words in photos or in context with things students know, Alber says. “Use analogies and metaphors, and invite students to create a symbol or drawing for each word.”
Only use dictionaries to build on the definitions students created on their own.

By front-loading students with key words, they’ll be more willing and able to “tackle that challenging text,” Alber says.
But pre-teaching vocab doesn’t mean “pulling a dozen words from the chapter and having kids look up definitions and write them out.”

What’s the opposite of scaffolding a lesson?
👉 “Read this nine-page science article, write a detailed essay on the topic it explores, and turn it in by Wednesday.”
No safety net, no parachute—they’re just left to their own devices, says Rebecca Alber (@WordLib).

Want to end the school year strong? Whatever teachers pick, they should include opportunities for students to celebrate and reflect on ways they've grown.

Excel·lent, però crec que el principal problema consisteix en crear la necessitat de l'alumnat a participar en un compromís d'aquest tipus. Passa, cal esforç, és clar, però és difícil que alguns i algunes es comprometin a fer-lo. Quan passa catarsi.
