Learning Goals: 1. We will learn about vocabulary and reading as predictors of academic achievement and discuss useful concepts that help us think about the importance of reading and vocabulary for student learning. 2. We will discuss reading and vocabulary development scaffolding strategies to deliver and facilitate content learning for multilingual learners.
