Vocabulary can be built upon and expressed by other vocabulary words. Involve students in discovering and understanding new vocabulary words. Teach beyond the basic definition and engage the students by making connections to the real world. Everyone will benefit from more examples.

One way I can do this in my class is by having my students point out unfamiliar words in our stories. I also provide multiple examples for each word. These are strategies that I tend to use already.

Creating a graphic organizer with visuals and definitions for students to practice with one another. Students can cooperate to learn vocabulary. This strategy also help to facilitate vocabulary learning by visually mapping vocabular in an accessible medium.

I can utilize this in my classroom to make vocabulary meaningful and engaging for all my students, and visuals are extra important for struggling reader.

This strategy focuses on building everyday practices that build independence for the students. This includes using the "STAR" method, which is Select, Teach, Activate, Revisit. This also includes word walls that students can reference. I will use this in my class by creating a word wall with our unit vocab words. This way, the students are able to reference it when we are having a class discussion. It will help them use this academic language. -Kendra Pisias

Marzano's vocabulary instruction focuses on descriptions, restating, showing, discussing, refining, and reflecting. Students engage with new terms through a variety of ways such as visual representations, discussion activities, games, and periodic review for deep understanding. -Zach D.

The RM Vocab Instructions is a step-by-step way in teaching reading comprehension. It starts with knowing the definition and progresses to stating in their own words. It breaks down the process into more manageable steps, and also very much capitalizes on environmental learning and alternative strategy learning.

I would incorporate it into my class by getting the students to figure out the words that are used to define them and get them to truly understand the words.

Vocabulary Development is important to the overall success of every student. It needs to be taught both implicitly and explicitly, the best time for it is when a new word comes up while reading. This should be done across all grades at anytime.

This would be a great time to use in my classroom- in the moment. I think it is more meaningful to students when they're able to apply new vocabulary to something they're currently reading or learning about.

Knowing vocabulary is critical to comprehension so it is important to preteach. There are various ways to preteach vocabulary. Examples include role playing, pointing to pictures, showing real objects, and using a student's first language and asking for the word in English. I can use this strategy by finding pictures that help represent vocabulary words and screenplaying them on the TV in my room.

Teaching strategy that uses explicit "I do", guided "we do", collaboration "you do" to independent. There are 6 steps; Explain, Restate, Show, Discuss, Refine and reflect, and Application. Vocabulary instruction is essential to build foundational knowledge in all academic subjects. Having an effective way to teach vocabulary can increase students ability to comprehend what they are learning and how they can apply their new knowledge. In my classroom I use vocabulary cards that have images and are broken down into syllables. The consonants are written in black and the vowels are in red. This not only build vocabulary, but incorporates phonemic awareness. My students are 4-5 years old.

Teaching Vocabulary strategies for Educators of ELL

I chose slide 17 - Teaching Vocabulary strategies for Educators of ELL. I like how there's a Greek and Latin root poster. It has prefixes and suffixes. I also like how it says ELLs must have exposure opportunities. There's a picture there of using context clues. I teach this daily and implement strategies to help them decode. I can synthesize finding context clues via vocabulary between Math and Science as concepts overlap. James Divinagracia

Vocabulary should be given in an Integrated ELD form, where terminology of other subjects is integrated into regular readings. I love that Kate Kinsella emphasizes that academic vocabulary should be explicitly taught and practiced within meaningful content-area instruction, allowing English Learners to develop language skills in context through integrated ELD. In my Kindergarten class, I use Dr. Kinsella’s approach by introducing key vocabulary from subjects like math or science during read-alouds and hands-on lessons, giving my students repeated, opportunities to hear, say, and use the words in context. - Jill Williams

Vocab is the key to comprehension. One strategy is pre-teaching vocabulary through role playing, manipulatives, using pictures as well as supplementing vocabulary with video and audio books. I can use this strategy with my EL student from Afghanistan who knows how to say what he sees but is working in reading and speaking the vocabulary so I will introduce images and videos to supplement his growth!

I chose slide 8 of the research-based vocabulary. Vocabulary grows exponentially with every new word you learn and study so the larger your vocabulary becomes, the easier it will be to connect a new word with words you already know, and thus remember its meaning! I like how it shows the more work you put in, the bigger the benefit the reader/learner has. -Dan Derepentigny

Reading Rockets: Vocabulary Development for ELL's

Vocabulary is key to reading comprehension and there are many strategies that teachers can use to help develop vocabulary for those learning English as their second language. These tools can include things like scaffolding, oral language development (practicing frequently), audio books (along with printed words), and labels in the room.

In addition to vocabulary, one way I could incorporate these things in the room would be to use scaffolding, such as visuals, chunking, or sentence starters as students learn out to read and write. I also have students use audio books in addition to print to help with language acquisition and comprehension (in my work it can apply to EL's or Dyslexia).

There are four effective ways to teach vocabulary using the STAR method. S (select), choose specific vocabulary words to focus on. T (teach) (Teach), engage students in discussing the word's definition. A (activate) connect the new word to students' existing knowledge. R (review) review the word to reinforce learning. This STAR method builds student independence by having them look through a dictionary. Another strategy would be to expose students to a variety of books and use a word wall to write new vocabulary words for students.

Vocabulary development is an essential instruction practice because it supports reading comprehension. This particular strategy creates engagement through interactive activities such as role playing, using gestures, quick drawings. The program emphasizes the importance of teaching words in context, using visuals and real-world connections to support understanding. This strategy promotes scaffolding instruction and promotes a rich-language environment through meaningful conversations.

Right now, I try to pre-teach key vocabulary by providing visuals and student-friendly definitions. I encourage my students to use their context clues when reading a text. I support meaningful conversations by providing sentence stems during group activities.

Four effective strategies to teach vocabulary within the classroom to help improve students' vocabulary, reading comprehension, and academic performance.

Using the STAR method: Select a word, Teach the definition, Activate or connect to prior knowledge, Revisit/review the word.
Provide dictionaries in the classroom for students to use
Using a word wall
Provide a wide variety of reading books for students

Although I primarily co-teach in math, I am able to use at least one of these strategies within the classroom to promote vocabulary for all students. In my classroom, I have two shelves full of a variety of books for students to borrow. They can borrow these books to read anytime after they finish an assignment and/or after finishing a test when they are required to remain quiet until the period ends.

Effective vocabulary instructions starts with explicit instruction and modeling. Next, students participate in guided instruction and collaborate with peers. Finally, students practice independently.

I could use this strategy in my comprehension small groups. I would first introduce vocabulary words and provide students with definitions. Then students could work together to come up with their own examples and definitions in their own words.
