Two BIG IDEAS about Vocabulary
If students
can pronounce the words in a passage accurately
and fluently
understand the meaning of critical vocabulary in the
passage,
then their comprehension will be
enhanced.

Importance of Vocabulary Instruction
• Receptive Language– Reading Comprehension (Chall, Jacobs, & Baldwin,
1990; Scarborough, 1998; Stahl & Fairbanks)– Listening Comprehension
• Expressive Language– Writing – Speaking
• Overall Reading Achievement (Stanovich, et.al, 1993)• Overall School Success (Becker, 1977; Anderson & Nagy, 1991)
• Hallmark of an Educated Individual (Beck, McKeown, Kucan, 2002)

Vocabulary Gap
• Children enter school with different levels of vocabulary (Hart & Risley, 1995)
• Cumulative Vocabulary (Age 4)– Children from professional families 1100 words– Children from working class families700 words– Children from families on welfare 500 word
• Linguistically “poor” first graders knew 5,000 words; linguistically “rich” first graders knew 20,000 words. (Moats, 2001)
![Page 5: Dynamic Vocabulary](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013012/56816641550346895dd9b071/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Vocabulary Gap
• Children who enter school with limited vocabulary knowledge grow more discrepant over time from their peers who have rich vocabulary knowledge (Baker, Simmon, & Kame’enui, 1997)– The number of words students learn varies greatly– 2 vs. 8 words per day– 750 vs. 3,000 words per year
• After the primary grades, the “achievement gap” between socioeconomic groups is a language gap (Hirsch, 2002)
![Page 6: Dynamic Vocabulary](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013012/56816641550346895dd9b071/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Components of a Vocabulary Program
• High-quality Classroom Language (Dickinson, Cote, & Smith, 1993)
• Explicit Vocabulary Instruction (Becker, Kame’enui, & Simmons, 1998; Baumann, Kame’emui, & Ash, 2003; Beck & McKeown, 1991; Beck, McKeown, & Kucan, 2002; Biemiller, 2004; Marzano, 2004; Paribakht & Wesche, 1997)
• Word-Learning Strategies ( Buikima & Grave, 1993; Edwards, Font, Baumann, & Boland, 2004; White, Sowell, & Yanagihara, 1989)
• Word-Consciousness (Diamond &Gutlohn, 2006; Scott & Nagy, 2004)
• Wide Independent Reading (Anderson, Nayb, 1992; Cunningham & Stanovich, 1998; Naby, Anderson, & Herman, 1987; Sternberg, 1987)

High Quality Classroom Language
• Use high-quality vocabulary in the classroom• Ensure understanding
– Tell students the meaning of the word (EXPLICIT)• “Don’t procrastinate on your project. Procrastinate means to put
off doing something– Parallel language - slide in the meaning
• “Let’s analyze this equation. Let’s figure it out”• “What’s the significance of this incident….this event.”

Explicit Vocabulary Instruction
![Page 10: Dynamic Vocabulary](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013012/56816641550346895dd9b071/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Explicit Instruction
• Teach the meaning of critical, unknown vocabulary words. – Select a limited number of words for robust, explicit
vocabulary instruction.
– Three to ten words per story or section in a chapter would be appropriate .
– Briefly tell students the meaning of other words that are needed for comprehension.
(Beck, et. al)
![Page 11: Dynamic Vocabulary](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013012/56816641550346895dd9b071/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Explicit Instruction
• Select words that are unknown.• Select words that are critical to passage
understanding.• Select words that students are likely to encounter in
the future and are generally useful. (Stahl, 1986)
– Focus on Tier Two words (Beck & McKeown, 2003)
– Academic Vocabulary • Select difficult words that need interpretation
– Abstract referent, unknown concept, uncommon usage, not defined in context
![Page 12: Dynamic Vocabulary](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013012/56816641550346895dd9b071/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Explicit Instruction
• Tier One –Basic words– chair, bed, happy, house
• Tier Two –Words in general use, but not common– concentrate, absurd, fortunate, relieved, dignity, convenient– Academic Vocabulary – analyze, facilitate, inherent,
fundamental, supplement, equivalent
• Tier Three –Rare words limited to a specific domain– tundra, igneous rock, weathering – Background Knowledge
(Beck & McKeown, 1985)

Explicit Instruction
Step 1. Introduce the word
Step 2. Present a student-friendly explanation OR have students find the
definitionOR teach the word parts
Step 3. Illustrate the word with examples
Step 4. Check students’ understanding
![Page 15: Dynamic Vocabulary](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013012/56816641550346895dd9b071/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
1. Introduce the Word
• Write word on overhead/whiteboard• Teacher reads the word • Students repeat the word• If word is difficult, students repeat the word 3 times
Introduce the word with me:This word is compulsory. What word? compulsory Say it three times. compulsory, compulsory, compulsory
![Page 16: Dynamic Vocabulary](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013012/56816641550346895dd9b071/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
2. Student Friendly Definitions
• Use a dictionary designed for English Language Learners for better definitions
• Example – conglomeration– 1st dictionary: The act of conglomerating– 2nd dictionary: The act or process of conglomerating; am
accumulation of miscellaneous things– Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary: a large group
or mass of different things all gathered together in an untidy or unusual way
When something is required and you must do it, it is compulsory. So, if it is required and you must do it, it is compulsory.

2b. Locate the Definition
Should students use:
Dictionary or
Glossary– Glossary will give you the definition for the word as it is
used in the text– IN the book (no other resources needed)– Faster (less transitioning)

2c. Teach Morphographs in the Word
a. Introduce word in relationship to its “word relatives” (“word families”).
DO NOW: Create a word web using the root struct
b. Analyze parts of wordc. If the students are Spanish speakers, guide students
to use cognates. - A word that is related to English

4. Check Understanding
• Ask deep processing questions– Why do you think something becomes compulsory?
• Have students discern between examples and non-examples– Is going to school in 9th grade compulsory? Yes– How do you know it is compulsory? It is required– Is going to college when you are 25 compulsory? No– Why is it NOT compulsory? You choose to go to college.
• Have students generate their own examples. – There are many things at this school that are compulsory.
Think of as many as you can. Think/pair/share

Extensions
• Introduce part of speech• Introduce synonyms and antonyms, homographs
(same spelling – different meanings)• Tell students when and where the word is often used• Introduce etymology of the word (history and/or
origin) • Introduce other word in the same “word family”
(derivatives)– Base word vs. root

Word Learning Strategies
Context Clues• Teach students to use context clues to determine the
meaning of unknown vocabulary (Gipe & Arnold, 1979)
• However, if a student 100 unfamiliar words in print, s/he will only learn between 5-15 words (Nagy, Hermann, & Anderson, 1985; Swanborn, & de Glopper, 1999)
![Page 34: Dynamic Vocabulary](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013012/56816641550346895dd9b071/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Context Clues
1. Read the sentence in which the unknown word occurs for clues as to the word’s meaning
2. Read the surrounding sentences for clues as to the words’ meaning.
3. Look at the parts of the word (prefixes, roots, suffixes)
4. Ask yourself, “What might the word mean?”5. Try the possible meaning in the sentence.6. Ask yourself, “Does that make sense?”
![Page 35: Dynamic Vocabulary](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013012/56816641550346895dd9b071/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Compound Words
![Page 36: Dynamic Vocabulary](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013012/56816641550346895dd9b071/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Vocabulary Strategy:Yes-No-Why?
• Pair up 2 vocabulary words and put them into a question format
• Provides opportunity for students to more deeply process the meaning.–Can incidents cause compassion?–Do people always comply with their
obligations?–Can migrants be refugees?
![Page 37: Dynamic Vocabulary](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013012/56816641550346895dd9b071/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Gradable Antonyms
• Put these words along a continuum–Tiny–Huge–Miniscule–Large–Enormous–Average–Small
