By the help of these tips, You`ll be able to identify the word in examination. After then It`d be easy toanswer the question.
VOCABULARY
Vocabulary, or the repertoire of words that an individual knows and uses to communicate, is keycomponent of effective reading from the earliest stages and is central to comprehension. Students cannotunderstand what they are reading if they do not know what the words mean. Additionally, comprehensiondegrades proportionally to unknown vocabulary.
Most words are learned through everyday language experiences. Interactions with adults are the best wayfor children to expand their vocabularies. Through sharing of events and books, adults provide knowledgeand stimuli that children need. Once individuals are fluent readers, books and other types of writtencommunication are optimal for expanding vocabulary and concepts.
Despite the fact that most vocabulary is acquired indirectly, research suggests that vocabulary can beimproved with explicit instruction. Direct instruction helps students to learn words that have not beenmastered from life experiences. It can be provided through oral discussion that familiarizes students withvocabulary words, often offered before a story or text lesson is read. These introductory vocabularylessons also aid comprehension. The discourse teaches the words and lays groundwork for the contentthat is to be covered. If students are to remember the words and make them part of their workingvocabularies, they need repeated exposure and additional practice using the words over an extendedperiod of time.
Ambiguities of the English language make learning words a challenge. Multiple meanings, spellings, andpronunciations confuse students and hinder verbal or written communication. Direct vocabulary instructiondevelops awareness of synonyms, antonyms, homonyms, and heteronyms. Lessons or manipulatives canteach students both words and specific strategies.
Structural features of words offer clues to meaning. Prefixes are added before root words to modify the
meaning. Since prefixes carry meaning, being familiar with them can be valuable for vocabularyexpansion. Suffixes are added to the end of words to change the part of speech. If students can identifythe root word and determine the part of speech, often they can figure out what the word means. Rootwords also have meaning. Study of Latin root words and the many words that can be formed from them isa powerful strategy for analyzing word meaning and expanding vocabulary.
Another technique that is worthwhile for advancing word concepts is classification, or the ability tocategorize vocabulary words into classes. When using categories, students consider words in terms of their class membership rather than as separate entities. Students can be asked to sort words bycategories or find words that do not belong. Word relationship analysis, such as analogies, is a type of classification skill. In addition to vocabulary improvement, studying classes and relationships buildsreasoning skills.
Affixes & Roots
The English language has been strongly influenced by other languages over the centuries, particularly byLatin and Greek. Understanding the structure of these two western classical languages affords manyinsights into the formation and meaning of English vocabulary words. Greek and Latin are inflectinglanguages in which words and usage are modified by the addition of prefixes and suffixes. Familiarity withprefix meaning, suffix usage, and the most common Latin roots can provide clues for figuring out tens of thousands of words.
Step 1 - Teach common prefixes and their meanings
Prefixes are placed at the beginning of words to change meaning. Learning approximately 20 high-utilityprefixes can significantly enhance ones ability to analyze word meaning. Fo r example, the following
-

common prefixes all mean not or opposite:
dis disappear, distraction, dismiss, disputeim immature, imperfect, improbable, impudentin inequity, ineffective, incredible, insecure, inaccessibleir irresponsible, irreverent, irregular, irresistibleun unobstructed, unrealistic, unbeaten, uncivilized
Step 2 - Show how suffixes modify parts of speech
Suffixes added to the end of words affect usage rather than meaning. Most commonly, suffixes denoteverb tense, noun plurals, or adjective degree. Understanding these uses improves grammar, but does notbuild vocabulary. However, recognizing how suffixes are utilized to modify parts of speech can be aworthwhile meaning-analysis strategy. Identifying the usage might help a reader to get the gist of what isbeing said.
The following show suffixes modifying parts of speech:-ant, -ent (verb to adjective) - observe to observant, differ to different, defy to defiant-ty (adjective to noun) - active to activity, safe to safety, cruel to cruelty-ion (verb to noun) - collect to collection, act to action, appreciate to appreciation
Step 3 - Study the most frequently used Latin roots
Frequently occurring Latin roots and their variant forms are potent vocabulary builders. Just learning thetop 25 would offer insight into innumerable English words. Some that are more straightforward, such asport or scribe, may be learned with little instruction. However, structured lessons would unlock manyothers.
These words are examples of the Latin root mit, miss, which means to send or let go. The word meaningsin parentheses couple both the root and prefix meanings.commit/commission (send together); transmit/transmission (send across);admit/admission (let go toward); remit/remission/remittance/remiss (send back);intermission/intermittent (let go between); emit/emission/emissary (send out of)

"Onym" Words
The suffix -onym is derived from the Greek word for name. Words that end in -onym refer to a category of words. Often the class is based on relationships between word pairs, such as synonyms and antonyms.Other classes have spelling, sound, or meaning similarities or differences, such as homonyms orheteronyms. Knowledge of the following word types is necessary for vocabulary use and spelling
accuracy.
Synonyms
Of all these groups, synonyms are most significant for vocabulary improvement. Synonyms are words thathave the same meanings. However, synonyms often have different connotations or tone, and considering
these features leads to more accurate choices. Additionally, some words are quite overused (good topsthe list), and students must strive to select alternate words.
The built-in thesauruses in word processing programs are excellent tools for today's writers. Beforestudents maximize this feature in their writing, they must be cognizant of word nuances and repetition.Manipulatives provide structured study of synonyms that make students think about synonyms as they
write and train them to consider word choices.
Antonyms
Antonyms, or words having opposite meanings, are useful for concept and vocabulary understanding, butthey do not improve usage. For instance, if you say that superb is the opposite of poor, most students
would comprehend the word meaning. But would it be preferable to say that superb is another word foroutstanding? Focusing on synonyms is the superior strategy.

Homonyms
Homo comes from the Greek word meaning one. Homonyms are two words having the samepronunciation but different meanings, origins, or spellings. Rather than bogging down with additional
terminology, Reading Manipulatives uses this inclusive definition of homonym to refer to words that arepronounced the same but have either different spellings (to, too, two) or meanings (bat-device for hitting
baseballs, bat-flying nocturnal animal).
Heteronyms
Heteronyms are words that are spelled the same, but they differ in both meaning and pronunciation(reocord v, recoord n). Students figure out heteronyms on their own by using context. However,
heteronyms can be used in creative ways to demonstrate the idiosyncrasies of English and test the writingskills of students.
Instructional Strategies & Materials
Manipulatives are effective for improving vocabulary through synonym association and substitution.Manipulatives could also be used with antonyms, but antonym matching is not as worthwhile as either a
vocabulary development or writing strategy.
Step 1 - Teach the characteristics of each categoryBefore moving students into manipulatives or skills cards, be sure that they know what synonyms,
antonyms, homonyms, or heteronyms are. Introduce these concepts one at a time and follow the lesson
with some type of activity.
Step 2 - Make sets of manipulatives and skills cardsComprehensive sets of manipulatives and skills cards assure that key vocabulary words are covered and
that students have adequate practice to master skills. This proves to be far more beneficial than therandom lessons that are generally used. These sets become part of the daily assignments. The initial time
invested is returned as students repeatedly work on the materials and as they are reused with futureclasses.
Step 3 - Integrate and immerse
Consider making the homonyms, synonyms, or antonyms part of some weekly spelling lists. Students tendto focus on their list words, and immersion helps students remember the concepts. Additionally,
homonyms are spelling nemeses for many. For example, one extensive analysis of student-writingsamples listed improper use of its and it's as the leading error.
Teach word use at every opportunity. Research suggests that words are not mastered without repeatedexposure, with four being the average that is necessary. Students may understand the characteristics of
the word categories, but they will not retain individual vocabulary words unless they practice these wordsover time.
Analogies
-
7/30/2019 A Word Identification Strategy
7/24
Analogies require learners to use higher-level thinking strategies to associate two words that are not
commonly linked and ascertain what relationship exists between the two words. Once the implied analogypattern (synonyms, antonyms, homonyms, degree, part to whole, function, characteristic, etc.) is
determined, the task is to create a similar relationship for the next pair of words. Analogies are used todevelop and test vocabulary since students must know the meaning of the words in order to complete an
analogy.
Step 1 - Teach what analogies are and the format they are written in
Analogies are a type of word puzzle containing two pairs of words, both of which are based on the sametype of relationship. The first pair of words is given, along with the first word of the second pair. Studentsmust determine the relationship that exists between the first pair of words and then complete the second
pair with a word following the same pattern.
In solving an analogy, the first step is to read the given analogy in a sentence. In the case of the analogyshown (painter : brush : : barber : ________ / choices: shears or hair), it is read, painter is to brush as
barb er is to _________. Next, verbalize the relationship that exists between the first two words: Apainter uses a brush. Extend that relationship to the next word: A barber uses _________. (worker to
tool)
Step 2 - Study multiple analogies and determine types of word relationships The following examples show types of relationships and analogy form:
synonyms (competent : capable : : believable : plausible ) antonyms (bold : shy : : risky : safe)
homonyms (piece : peace : : seen : scene) action to object (pull : tugboat : : lift : crane)
animal to animals sound (turkey : gobble : : owl : hoot)
animal to group (lion : pride : : goose : gaggle) category to example (insect : mosquito : : amphibian : frog) example to category (human : omnivo re : : moose : herbivore)
degree (prick : impale : : call : scream) cause to effect (wound : blood : : fire : heat)
locomotion to animal (slither : snake : : hop : kangaroo) fruit to dried variety (grape : raisin : : plum : prune)
object to compo sition (credit card : plastic : : antennae : metal) vehicle/vessel to stopping agent (ship : anchor : : automobile : brakes)
workplace to worker (garage : mechanic : : school : teacher) sport to scoring event (baseball : run : : football : touchdown)
player to sport (quarterback : football : : goalie : soccer) slang to word (cop : policeman : : dough : money)
An analogy must always have parallel structure. For instance, if the relationship is part to whole (mattressto bed), the second pair cannot be whole to part (sofa to cushion). It would have to be: mattress is to bed
as cushion is to sofa.
Step 3 - Structure options to build vocabulary
Since analogies are a method for developing or testing vocabulary, students are hindered when they areunfamiliar with words that are among the choices. For instance, in this analogy (lemonade : beverage : :torte is to _________ / choices: casserole or dessert), one must know the word torte to know that
dessert, not casserole, is the correct choice. Vocabulary expansion is a goal, so students must look upwords that they are unsure of.
