12/3/2018 Word Mapping Strategy

Word Mapping is a strategy students can use to help them figure out the meaning of unknown words.   Using morphemes, words are broken apart and analyzed to predict the meaning of words (i.e. prefix, root words, and suffix).  To utilize this strategy, students must be able to read at a 3rd or 4th grade level.   Struggling students often need instruction in the following:
- meanings of words and word parts
- how to identify morphemes (parts of words that have meaning)

Attended PD session on 12/4/18. Explored the Word Mapping Strategy book. Utilized Word Mapping strategy to break words apart and understand their origins. This would be exceptionally helpful for teachers to utilize in the classroom to help enhance student's vocabulary.

It was my first time with SIM.  I made connections on how I teach English Learners vocabulary.  I understand this will help English Learners learn vocabulary.

Word Mapping is a strategy for assisting students to breakdown words into morphemes, which will help them sound out words to read and predict meaning.
