  • our knowledge of words relates to both our education and to the context in which we use or encounter them
  • students enter kindergarten with an average of 1000 words and add another 1000 every year of schooling (students are already 1000 words behind when they start in kindergarten and the older they get, the bigger the gap)
  • knowledge of grammatical patterns and common word-forms can reduce the learning burden, can be done by grouping words into word families

  • Am I encouraging word-learning strategies? How can I make them more accessible?

  • What resources do I have available to assist me?

  • how can this be made easier for newer teachers with less experience and resources?
  • how can we make sure students are learning enough words when they have other things to learn as well (this number of words is overwhelming to students and teachers)?
