Instructional Routine • Step 1: Introduce the Word • Write and say the word • Have students repeat it • Step 2: Explain • Use student friendly explanation • Show picture/demonstrate • Step 3: Illustrate the Word with Examples • Concrete examples • Visual representations • Verbal examples • Step 4: Check Student Understanding (use one of the options) • Ask deep processing questions • Provide examples and non-examples • Have students generate their own examples • Provide students with a sentence starter and have students complete the sentence Beck, McKeown, & Kucan, 2002
