The participial clause modifies the VP in the main clause, "will acquire". The low clause's implied subject (teachers?) should corefer with that of the high clause, with "students". But apparently it does not:
1. students do not teach,
2. let alone acquire vocabulary while they teach reading skills.
While teaching them some reading skills, students will acquire vocabulary. :cross:
While developing reading skills, students will acquire vocabulary. :tick:
While we help them develop their reading skills, students will acquire... :tick:
