bieberk1 — 2014-09-13 15:04:24 UTC

1. exposure to new vocabulary

2.self-motivation & engagement

3. multiple exposures to new words that give contextual and definitional information

bieberk1 — 2014-09-14 14:45:12 UTC

how does using intentional strategies while reading

books help children acquire new vocabulary

children hear new vocabulary through:

bieberk1 — 2014-09-14 14:47:55 UTC

- books being read to them

- direct & indirect conversation

- TV

- Video games

- Computer games

- Radio

question

bieberk1 — 2014-09-14 14:48:59 UTC

Do children need to USE the vocabulary in order to

show they have learned it/understand it?

question

bieberk1 — 2014-09-14 14:50:36 UTC

how does a child's vocabulary affect their

social & emotional skills?

things that may affect children's vocabulary:

bieberk1 — 2014-09-14 14:57:35 UTC

- hearing impairment

- speech

- ELL/bilingual

-developmental or speech delays

question

bieberk1 — 2014-09-14 15:08:52 UTC

what are strategies I can use

in the classroom to help build students'

vocabulary?

question

bieberk1 — 2014-09-14 15:09:53 UTC

do students need to see pictures?

perform the action?

what about words that are feelings (i.e. Frustration)

incorporate senses? touch, smell, hear, taste, sight

question

bieberk1 — 2014-09-14 15:21:17 UTC

do girls talk more than boys? does that affect vocabulary?

#4) Reading stories

bieberk1 — 2014-09-14 15:27:16 UTC

reading stories multiple times helps children learn new vocabulary

#3) Benefits of repeated shared reading

bieberk1 — 2014-09-14 16:08:06 UTC

"Research supports the implementation of interventions that focus on explicit vocabulary instruction through repeated shared storybook reading (e.g., Coyne et al., 2004; Justice et al., 2005; Penno et al., 2002; Wasik & Bond, 2001)"

purpose: "compare rich and basic instruction of target vocabulary to incidental exposure during storybook readings. A comparison study of three different types of instruction on vocabulary acquisition was conducted."

research questions: "(1) Do first-grade students acquire the meaning of story words taught using rich or basic instruction to a greater extent than story words that are not taught explicitly? and (2) What is the best method of instruction (rich, basic, or incidental) for acquiring the meaning of story words?"

possible focus

bieberk1 — 2014-09-14 16:12:20 UTC

how does reading a story multiple

times help children acquire new vocab

#5) Enhancing Teacher Read Alouds With Small-Group Vocabulary Instruction for Students With Low Vocabulary in First-Grade Classrooms

#6) A Cautionary Tale of Early Reading Instruction

bieberk1 — 2014-09-14 17:29:18 UTC

- the need to improve vocabulary skills in order to be successful readers

- found that oral discussion alone during read alouds did not positively affect student vocabulary

-must use "anchored word instruction" = highlight a word's meaning, spelling, and soun

#8) Being Intentional when you teach

early childhood: prek-3

#2) early childhood: balancing play & academics

bieberk1 — 2014-09-14 18:09:06 UTC

Without a nurturing, playful, responsive environment,

an academic focus may diminish children's engagement and motivation

#12) In-Depth Study of Vocabulary Development

bieberk1 — 2014-09-14 18:30:48 UTC

using repetition through methods such as reading aloud, educational games, motivation, and the use of an electronic word wall

#9) Oral vocabulary intruction

bieberk1 — 2014-09-14 18:39:16 UTC

- picking out key words before doing a read aloud

#10) Interactive read alouds

bieberk1 — 2014-09-14 18:41:52 UTC

#11) Read Aloud = better vocabulary
