Ask anyone who works in the wonderful world of kindergarten, and it’s no secret that teaching reading and vocabulary to a lively group of feisty five- and six-year-olds is certainly rewarding, but never easy! Especially with varied learning levels in classroom, how do teachers make sure ALL students understand new words and how to incorporate them into conversations? The answer: a structured and scheduled part of every NCSD kindergarten day called “Language For All (LFA),” which includes kids playing pretend roles in scenarios as they use new vocabulary. In this episode, meet NCSD kindergarten teachers Kristin Blaine (Oregon Trail), Kapo Chan (Cannady), and Summer Smith (Sunnyside), along with Sunnyside ELD teacher Katie Lynn and district consultant Erin Moulton, who explain why kids’ favorite part of the day includes “Play During LFA.”
