looked)

meaning (toss, throw, hurl)

 Use
of multiple approaches is
effective to teach vocabulary,
including direct instruction, words in
context, and wide reading.
 Repeated exposures to new
vocabulary in meaningful contexts is
effective.

What is Vocabulary?
Primary teachers: sight words
 Intermediate teachers: content words

Vocabulary is knowledge of words and
word meanings
Oral: listening and speaking
 Print: reading and writing
 Two forms:

– Receptive: recognize words when we hear or
read
– Productive: recognize words when we speak or
write
Why Is Vocabulary Important?
100 years of research:


The extent of students’ vocabulary relates
strongly to their reading comprehension and
overall academic success
Affects even phonological awareness
Significant predictor in kindergarten and first
grade of comprehension in middle and high
school
Vocabulary development is a fundamental
goal for students in the early grades.
However, very little instructional time is
devoted to vocabulary development.
The Vocabulary Gap
Hart and Risley (1995) conducted a
longitudinal study of children and
families from 3 groups:
c
Professional families
Working class families
Families on welfare

How Many Words Do Students
Need to Know?
 Consensus
among researchers:
2,000 to 3,500 distinct words each
year added to reading vocabularies.
 Only
8 to 10 words can be taught
effectively each week.
 Rest
come through incidental
learning.
Continuum of Word Knowledge
-Do not know the word
-Have seen or heard the word
-Know something about the word
-Know well, can explain it
Research on Vocabulary Instruction
 Vocabulary
from a text should be
taught directly and indirectly
 Repetition
and multiple exposures in
multiple contexts are important
 Learning
in rich contexts is valuable
– Words should be ones useful in many
contexts
– Words should come from content to be
read

 Vocabulary
learning is effective when it
entails active engagement
 Vocabulary
can be acquired through
incidental learning
 Dependence
on a single instructional
method will not result in optimal
learning
Instruction for Vocabulary
Development
 No
single method works
– incidental learning
– intentional learning
Incidental Learning of Vocabulary
Home is where much vocabulary is
acquired.


Incidental Learning of Vocabulary
 Wide
Reading
– Read 1 hour a day, 5 days a week =
2,250,000 words a year
– If 2%-5% are unknown = 45,000 to
112,500 new words.
– If child learns 5%-10% of these words =
at least 2,250 new words a year from
reading
Incidental Learning of Vocabulary
 Teacher
Read-Alouds
The value is in the teacher talk that
accompanies the reading.
Incidental Learning of Vocabulary
 Oral
Language Experiences at School
– Teacher talk is often concrete, about the
“here and now”, and uses commonly
recognized words.
– Make word learning part of daily
routines.
Intentional Teaching of Vocabulary
Which words should be taught?
 Importance
– are, that, a, to, or, the, of
– 107 function words make up 50% of all
written words in texts
 Prepositions,
pronouns, conjunctions,
auxiliary verbs (be, have, got, do)
“Content” Words
 Nouns
 Adjectives
 “Full”
verbs
 Adverbs
Tier I, II, and III Words
 Usefulness
and Frequency
– Tier I, Tier II, Tier III words
Intentional Teaching of Vocabulary

Tier I words: clock, baby, happy
– Words children should(??) know; words used in
everyday speech

Tier II words: fortunate, maintain,
merchant
– Words that appear in written and oral language
that are not used every day

Tier III words: micron, hydrochloric acid,
contrapuntal
– Words specific to a discipline or content area
– Words that appear rarely
Intentional Teaching of Vocabulary
 How
is?
do I determine what a Tier II word
Frequency and Utility: Words that mature
language users use and that appear
frequently
Instructional potential: Words that lend
themselves to instruction and can be worked
with in a variety of ways so students can
build in-depth knowledge of them and their
connections to other words and concepts
Conceptual Understanding: Words that
describe a concept of which students already
have a general understanding
Intentional Teaching of Vocabulary
Which is the Tier II word?
Jose avoided playing the ukulele.
avoided
– Importance and utility
– Instructional potential
Can teach other forms: avoid, avoiding, avoids
– Conceptual understanding
Already have the concept of not wanting to do
something
– Verbs are where the action is
Let’s Choose Tier II Words

Johnny Harrington was a kind master who
treated his servants fairly. He was also a
successful wool merchant, and his
business required that he travel often. In
his absence, his servants would tend to
the fields and cattle and maintain the
upkeep of his mansion. They performed
their duties happily, for they felt fortunate
to have such a benevolent and trusting
master.

experience
– Provide descriptions or examples of the
new word
– Have the student restate the description
or explanation in his/her own words
– Have student use the word
Assessment

do we assess vocabulary?

manual.
– Choose 5 Tier II words
– Plan how you are going to introduce
them
– Plan follow up activities so children use
them and apply them and “make them
theirs”
– Plan how you are going to assess their
mastery of the words at the end
