• Help students recognize the need to know academic terms and connect new words to their background knowledge
• Teach students how to use context, word structure, references, and other strategies to understand new words
• Provide opportunities for students to practice vocabulary terms and expand their word knowledge.

Included with every tool is advice on why, when, and how to use the strategy, plus tips for applying and modifying the tool.
