Teaching Inquiry - What's my why?

Something was not right.  It did not take long to figure out that my students were having problem reading, understand and writing because their vocabulary was limited.  The challenge to improve their vocabulary became my teaching inquiry.

It is important that my students are helped with their vocabulary, and I think that it is worth spending time on this.

I have therefore focussed my teaching inquiry to:

investigate through a variety of approaches, strategies and scaffolds, the effect of the meaning , use (oral,written) and form ( grammar) of words in accelerating reading comprehension.
