This technique was used in class as a pre-reading strategy to a text. I had the student to sort words by placing picture cards of words into categories.
* I placed the students into groups.
*Each group is given the same list of vocabulary terms, one term per index card
*The students sort the cards into groups, according to some way that they are related
*The students may use their text material to sort the words
*Students put the words that they don’t have any prior knowledge or
experience with in a stack to be discussed full-group or to be explained by the teacher.
I found this to be an extremely helpful strategy while teaching my students to prepare a simple meal, community information, family information, information from a text or book, etc.
