NEW! Comprehension and Vocabulary Graphic Organizers
|
|
|
TeachingBooks has launched our Early Literacy Toolkit! New for 2025 are two additional offerings: Comprehension and Vocabulary Graphic Organizers.
This toolkit illustrates an integrated instructional approach to early childhood literacy that aligns with key elements of the Scarborough Reading Rope. Beyond the ability to discover favorite picture books by phonemic elements, the Early Literacy Toolkit now includes original materials to reinforce language comprehension and vocabulary building.
|
|
|
Explore vocabulary graphic organizers to deepen knowledge of words using a structured framework. These are scaffolded to support readers across skill levels as they develop their own vocabulary knowledge—definitions, contexts, usage, and relationships.
Model and scaffold comprehension strategies with graphic organizers to support readers as they understand, clarify, and remember what is read.
Explore the newly designed toolkit and let us know how you're using TeachingBooks to support early literacy!
Our best,
The TeachingBooks Team
