[senco-forum] Re Teaching Vocabulary

Having returned from a short weekend break - (made longer by the 'wonderful'
snow) I see the debate on teaching vocabulary continues.  Now, with a few
short days before we return to school, please can we have some practical,
pragmatic strategies and ideas to teach vocabulary?

They need to not involve buying anything - budgets are spent and orderbooks
closed until late April.  Resources and ideas from the net, or better still
tried and tested by you experts out there.  Debate has its place, so does
the practical - it's the practical I need right now.  SATS are only a few
months away and I've plenty of pupils with moderate (general) learning
difficulties who are SEN/EAL (not advanced learners who are on target to
achieve CALP)  The majority of my SEN/EAL pupils are semi-literate and not
bi-lingual.

Bullet points will do very nicely.

Oh, and could someone who's been involved or followed the debate make a
summary of points learnt so far?
