Quarantine with Core Vocabulary

Posted by on March 24, 2020

Story time with Ms. Dawn

Hi Families! I hope that you’re all staying healthy and making the most of this interesting time! We definitely miss seeing your kids! I thought that it would be fun for them to see a familiar face and to be reminded of the core vocabulary that we use at school. If you’ve never met a female version of Mr. Rogers, you’re in for a real treat with these DIY videos! 😉 Clearly I don’t know how to use any fancy editing software but thankfully we’re all friends here, right?! Welcome to the neighborhood friends!

Core Vocabulary

Core vocabulary refers to the small number of words that make up >70-90% of what we say each day. These words are relevant in all settings and can have multiple meanings. Core words can be taught and reinforced in a variety of activities and allow for quick and easy word combinations. Core vocabulary is powerful because it allows communicators to express a variety of concepts with a small number of words.
