Many possibilities exist for lesson creation between the examples presented here. It is important to start instruction where the student is currently functioning and implement the appropriate instructional strategy with them. Once data indicate that the student is ready for the next level of instruction, proceed to it after reviewing the level the student has mastered. Let the data be your guide.  \nProcedure: When introducing a new fiction text, create vocabulary cards for unfamiliar words or concepts introduced in the story. Vocabulary cards are index cards with the new vocabulary word printed on it and either a preprinted picture or student drawn illustration demonstrating the meaning of the vocabulary word. Vocabulary words are then stored in individual index card boxes for on‐going and easy student access.  \nSample Activity 1  \nProvide explicit instruction to show and say a vocabulary word to students. Pair the word with a photograph, drawing or symbol of that word. Repeat several times, asking students to identify the word paired with the picture using their means of communication. Present two pictures/symbols/drawings paired with words. Word choices should be very different in length and pictures different in shape and color. Students discriminate between the two choices to select the requested word. Continue in like fashion, expanding the choice field to three pictures/words which are more similar in size and shape. Students discriminate picture/words and select the correct word from a field of three choices. As students reach mastery in selecting vocabulary words, scale up instruction by showing a word with a graphic representation and ask,“What is this word?”  \nSome students may benefit from partner assisted scanning when selecting their response. Partner assisted scanning can be used for verbal responses, pointing, head movement or eye gaze and can be used at any complexity level of instruction.  \nSample Activity 2  \nBuild on above by showing students a word and asking students to use their means of communi","cbCaijtiCxD2BZH1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijtiCxD2BZH1","pdf",204759,"English","# Reading Sample Activities\n## Vocabulary Cards Overview\n## Objectives and Materials\n## Instruction Procedures (Complexity Continuum)\n## Sample Activity 1\n## Sample Activity 2\n## Sample Activity 3\n## Sample Activity 4\n## Extension Ideas","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of using vocabulary cards in Grade 7 reading instruction?\",\"answer\":\"Vocabulary cards help students understand the meaning of words in fiction passages, build word knowledge through concept links, and increase participation in class discussions for all learners.\"},{\"question\":\"What materials are recommended to create and support vocabulary cards?\",\"answer\":\"Use appropriate fiction text and index cards, along with options such as pre-printed pictures or tactile cues, picture symbol software, high-contrast images, individual card boxes, and assistive technology supports for each student’s needs.\"},{\"question\":\"How do the sample activities progress across the complexity continuum?\",\"answer\":\"Instruction starts with explicit word presentation paired with graphics and repeated identification, then expands choice fields and fades picture supports.
