During+Reading

Some strategies to use During Reading would be:  ​

[]
 * VocabMarks** **(Stephens & Brown, p. 129)** A VocabMark is a laminated bookmark with spaces for students to list unfamiliar words and page number as they encounter them when reading. This is done with a water-based pen and in this way the VocabMark can be reused. This is a quick way for students to make their own vocabulary list. The purpose is to learn new vocabulary words and expressions while reading in a foreign language (Spanish). VocabMark provides students with an immediate means of interacting with new terms. Looking up the definition of new words while reading and writing them in the book does not help to learn unfamiliar terms. Making flash cards instead for future use for studying will be helpful.

 * Learning Partner Journal (Stephens & Brown, p. 143) ** The Learning Partner Journal is designed to provide students with a forum to communicate in a foreign language in a systematic way. It is also a strategy for establishing a working/learning relationship between two classmates.This strategy will provide a dialogue between students as they practice new vocabulary and syntax.
