Effective Vocabulary Instruction
Research shows… There is a tremendous need for
vocabulary instruction at all grade levels by all teachers.
If students do not steadily grow their vocabulary knowledge, reading comprehension will be affected.
There is no one best method for vocabulary instruction.

Effective Vocabulary Instruction
Vocabulary should be taught both directly and indirectly• Direct instruction = teaching specific words• Indirect instruction = exposing students to
new words and using literature Vocabulary instruction should be an
ongoing process that involves using different approaches and strategies.

Quotes “Vocabulary is the glue that holds
stories, ideas and content together…making comprehension accessible for children.” (Rupely, et al., 1998/99).
“On average, students should add 2,000 to 3,000 new words a year to their reading vocabularies.” (Beck, et al., 2002).

Listening Previewing Strategy
In the listening previewing strategy, the teacher previews the vocabulary words and their definitions prior to reading the selection.
Previewing can be done verbally, or the words can be written out on paper or the board, or a combination of both.

Keyword Strategy Mnemonic device Links prior knowledge to new
material through visual image Programs information in a way that is
easy to retrieve at a later time (The Access Center, 2006)

Direct Word Learning Strategy
Students read a trade book that has the targeted words in context. Have discussions about the words as they are encountered in the story.
Each day, the students would complete a different “project” using the words in context and have peer discussions.
