Author: Karen Wilson, SEND Specialist

Pre-teaching helps learners to enter a lesson feeling confident, independent and ready to shine! It can be used to promote curiosity before a lesson, expose learners to new, unfamiliar vocabulary or concepts and/or allow them to tackle tasks at their own pace before working in a larger group setting.

Tip or Idea: Ensuring learners are confident with key vocabulary before they encounter it in a lesson or piece of text can reduce barriers to learning and improve levels of comprehension. Pre-teaching can be delivered in a variety of ways from individual interventions, small group sessions or set home-learning tasks.

Free resource to help you with this activity: Our Plant and Animal Cells Flashcards can be used to pre-learn specific vocabulary to support and scaffold learning in science lessons.

We all know that there can be resistance to writing in the EAL classroom. To break this barrier, we need to consider the reasons for this, which are often due to a lack of scaffolding and under-confident learners. Working through a process of reading a model text, deconstructing it and then reconstructing your own text by following a scaffold, leads to more satisfactory outcomes.
