Vocabulary development is an important goal for all English Language Learners (ELLs).  Students expand their vocabulary through speaking, listening, reading and writing about general and academic topics. 
Students are learning all derivations of academic words by identifying academic vocabulary in their reading assignments and daily work for core academic classes.  Once students have identifed a new academic term, they record the word and other derivations of the word on an Academic Word Families Chart.  Click on the link below to see a list of academic vocabulary terms that students have collected so far this year.
