Explicit vocabulary instruction has a direct effect on reading success.
Researchers agree that reading comprehension and vocabulary knowledge are intricately linked. Vocabulary and reading are reciprocal - one builds upon the other.
R.E.V. It Up! activities tie reading and vocabulary together so that students build both skills concurrently.
Vocabulary instruction elevates student writing.
A strong vocabulary gives students the words to express themselves with the clarity and precision for academic and creative writing. However, students must have the oral language skills to express themselves maturely before they are able to transfer those skills to writing.
R.E.V. It Up! activities provide scaffolded instruction leading students from oral practice with new vocabulary to formal writing in multiple forms and genres.
