FACT OR FICTION?
An effective strategy for developing vocabulary skills is having students look words up in the dictionary and write sentences.
An effective strategy for developing vocabulary is playing vocabulary games with students.
If students have poor vocabularies, it’s important that they have long lists of words to memorize.
Vocabulary is a result of wide reading.

5 PRINCIPLES
Vocabulary instruction matters! Growing vocabulary is a complex
process. So many words, so little time. Effective vocabulary instruction moves
beyond the dictionary. Teach towards student independence.

VOCABULARY INSTRUCTION MATTERS!
“Vocabulary knowledge is the building block of all learning.”

EVEN 5% MATTERS Never mind that the song contends you can’t
rhummi love – science says you don’t actually jeentedo to. It takes all of a fifth of a second for that truly, madly, deeply gigeieff to register, says a new report. That’s faster than your average resting heartbeat.
Given the heart’s popular role in ecmanromd, it
may be a surprise that falling and being in love are actually more of a cerebral upheaval. Philtery into the wonders of passion has found that a concert of chemicals act on about a dozen parts of the brain all told to create that intense rush experienced as reboth.

RICHARD ALLINGTON
All students need to engage in lots of reading every school day. Most of this reading should be self-selected reading. Skip the worksheets, skip the low level interrogations, and provide the time to read and the books that kids want to read and can read. While the kids are reading, move about the room and engage readers in literate conversations about what they are reading. Literate conversation focus on thoughtful dialogue about the characters, the plot, and the responses the reader is having as he/she reads.

RULE OF THUMB
Ideal: read 30 – 50 books a year (approx. 1 book a week)
Most books should be “easy” reads An easy read: 1 page/minute
![Page 23: Words Count](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815c5a550346895dca5eca/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
If your students are not very adept at selecting books they can read and want to read it may simply indicate that they are relatively unpracticed at this activity. So help them by blessing 3 or 4 books every day. Blessing books is easy. Just hold up the book and tell the readers something about the book. Perhaps read a page or two aloud to allow them to hear what the book sounds like.

QUESTIONS TO ASK IN SELECTION
Is this word critical for understanding key concepts?
Will this word help students build a rich representation or develop a more precise understanding of the concepts under study?
Does it appear in a variety of domains? Will it be used throughout the year? Will the
word be used in student writing?

By the late Middle Ages, England’s feudal lords had lost much of their power to the its king. The new class of townspeople supported a strong king. A single system of laws and courts and a larger army of soldiers helped strengthen the king. In addition, as the country prospered, more taxes were paid to the king.

Estonian scholars, who searched for as many Latin words meaning “nothing” or “not very much as possible”:
flocci (means “a little bit,” but literally it means “a bit of wool”),
nauci (means very little), nihili (means “nothing”), pili (means “very little”); fused them together, and then added the suffix “fication” on the
end, to give the sense of an action.
