ONE MINUTE INSERVICE Take a minute; learn a lot!

The SLAP Strategy

Research shows a strong relationship between vocabulary and one’s ability to comprehend new information (from Classroom Instruction That Works by R. Marzano, D. Pickering, & J. Pollock). A strategy that helps students understand words in context is SLAP. Try teaching this to your students as they read texts in language arts, math, science, and social studies.

The SLAP Strategy

& Say the word. & Look for clues.

& Ask yourself what the word might mean; think of a

word that expresses that meaning. & Put the word in the passage in place of the

unfamiliar word. Does it make sense?
