English learners throughout the United States are faced with the difficulty of not understanding the meaning of high frequency words. This interactive workshop will offer teachers the necessary tools to bring meaning to HFWs in order to increase the literacy rate of all ELs. Participants will learn a variety of instructional routines that are aligned with the requirement of the Common Core Standards to effectively and systematically teach HFWs to increase achievement in fluency and reading comprehension. Participants will have an opportunity to create activities they can implement immediately(in English and/or Spanish).
