The document provides guidelines for teaching vocabulary to students, including repeating words multiple times in different contexts, using abbreviations, word games, relating words to students' prior knowledge, and having students keep a vocabulary notebook to review words through making sentences and noting parts of speech. The overall aim is for students to learn and remember new words through varied exposure and practice.
