Frog Street’s Expanding Vocabulary
highlights 20 essential teaching
strategies that support two major
literacy goals:
• Improve comprehension
• Develop a rich, robust
vocabulary

of unknown words and so much more. After learning these
powerful strategies, you can apply them in all classroom lessons
across the curriculum.
•Turn to a Partner

STRATEGY 1
Turn to a Partner
✔What It Is
When students are listening to a lesson, they are using receptive language skills. We want students to move
from receptive language to expressive language. One quick way to do this is to use the “Turn to a Partner”
strategy and have students say what they are learning for a brief moment or two to another student.
✔How It Works
This strategy allows students to move from expressive language to definitional language, where students
talk about the meanings of words. This demonstrates vocabulary usage at the expressive level. You can apply
this strategy to any text by asking students to turn to a partner to repeat a word, define a word, describe an
illustration, or verbalize their understanding of story concepts.
When students turn to a partner, they are able to express their thoughts and ideas. It allows them to
verbalize their thinking, which is critical for younger learners as they process new information.

Developmental Storybooks are spiral-bound flipbooks
that you can set on a table tent-style so students can
view an illustration on one side while you read the text
on the other side. The text for each story is presented
in three levels in both English and Spanish. Level I is
the simplest version with the most straightforward
and easy-to-understand language. Level II has added
vocabulary and descriptions. Level III uses figurative
language as well as robust, challenging vocabulary.

• The Three Little Pigs • Los Tres cerditos
• The Enormous Turnip • El nabo enorme
