Instructional Teaching Practice:I use descriptive positive feedback so children know exactly what is expected and what they are doing well. I use descriptive feedback more than I use general praise.
Providing Feedback with Nonverbal Preschoolers
Substitute Synonyms
An easy way to introduce your students to new words is to use them yourself. After all, you are their best role model.
One way to do this is to become a walking thesaurus and substitute synonyms for various words. While synonyms are typically words that mean the same thing, often times a synonym is more descriptive than the original word.
When it comes to preschool vocabulary building, enormous is always better than big. Here are some other suggestions:
- cold: cool, chilly, bitter, freezing, raw
- hot: warm, humid, boiling, tropical
- smart: clever, bright, brilliant, wise
