What is special about academic English? — meet the words

Teacher edition · Grade 3 · Lesson 17 · interleaved (all)
Same meaning, different dress.

1. MATCH

Draw a line from each school word to the everyday word that means about the same.
occur — happen
assist — help
permit — let
reduce — make smaller
produce — make
MATCH — watch forRecognition only. A child can do this by elimination without meaning anything by the word, which is why it is rung one and not the whole sheet.

2. CHOOSE

Fill each gap with the right word. Word bank: assist, construct, locate, obtain, occur, permit, produce, reduce, remove, repeat.
Word bank: assist, construct, locate, obtain, occur, permit, produce, reduce, remove, repeat.
Rain occurs most in spring.
She assisted her partner.
The rules permit two tries.
reduce the amount of salt.
Bees produce honey.
We obtained water from the tap.
locate the river on the map.
They constructed a small bridge.
remove the dead leaves.
repeat the test three times.
CHOOSE — watch forPRACTICE MODE: interleaved (all). Gaps are drawn from more than one set — the words COMPETE. This is the interleaving, and it is where the skill is built. Expect it to be harder than blocked practice and do not rescue them.

3. FRAME

Finish each sentence.
Expect the FULL sentence on the line, not just the missing word. A one-word answer is incomplete — ask for it again.
The occur is ___.
The occur is rain.one possible answer — accept any full sentence that uses the word properly
___ is another way to say happen.
rain is another way to say happen.one possible answer — accept any full sentence that uses the word properly
FRAME — watch forThe release to independence. Today's scaffold is “full frame”, and it shrinks each time this unit returns until there is no frame at all — the child should be able to feel it coming off.

4. PRODUCE

Write your own sentences using the school words. Target: 1 paragraph (5–7 sentences). A + means more than one sentence in that slot. Use the frame as often as you need it today.

PRODUCE — watch forThe printed target is the LOTF move: the child can see what a full answer looks like instead of guessing how much is enough. The Today's frame ration is 3 — say it aloud, and say BOTH halves: the frame is there if they need it, and it is better writing without it.
