The Importance of Vocabulary Vocabulary knowledge
is one of the best indicators of verbal
ability. Vocabulary knowledge in kindergarten and
first grade is a significant predictor or reading
comprehension in the middle and secondary
grades. Vocabulary difficulty strongly influences
the readability of text. In fact, vocabulary is
far and away the most significant factor
influencing text difficulty. Teaching vocabulary
can improve reading comprehension for both native
English speakers and English learners. (Graves,
2006, 2007)
6
The Vocabulary Learning Task The vocabulary
learning task is huge. The average fourth grader
probably knows 5,000-10,000 words. The average
high school graduate probably knows 50,000
words. To acquire this extensive vocabulary, he
or she has learned something like 3,500 words a
year. This translates to learning 10 words a day.
7
Vocabulary Deficits Some students face
debilitating vocabulary deficits. Many children
of poverty enter school with vocabularies have
the size of their middle-class counterparts
(Hart Risley, 1995, 2003). Once in school, they
continue to learn words at about half the rate of
their peers. In the intermediate grades and high
school, their vocabularies are still half the
size of those of theirpeers, possibly less. The
same is true of many English learners.

8
Assisting Students in Building Strong
Vocabularies Helping average students achieve
vocabularies of 50,000 words is a very
substantial task. Helping students with small
vocabularies catch up with their peers is an even
more substantial task. Only a rich and
multifaceted vocabulary program is likely to help
students accomplish these tasks (Baumann
Kaméenui, 2004 Blachowicz, Fisher, Ogle,
Watts-Taffe, 2006 Graves, 2006 Stahl Nagy,
2006).

Teaching Individual Words Is Just One Part of a
Comprehensive and Multifaceted Vocabulary Program
  • With something like 3,500 words to learn each
    year, teaching individual words is just one part
    of the comprehensive and multi-part program such
    as that outlined below and needs to recognized as
    a part of that whole.

11
  • Frequent, Varied, and Extensive Language
    Experiences
  • Reading, writing, discussion, and listening
  • The emphasis on these four modalities and the
    teaching/learning approaches used will vary over
    time.
  • With younger and less proficient readers, there
    is more discussion and listening and more
    teacher-led work.
  • With older and more proficient readers, there is
    more reading and writing and more independent
    work.

12
  • Teaching Word-Learning Strategies
  • Using context
  • Learning and using word parts
  • Using glossaries and the dictionary
  • Recognizing and using cognates (for Spanish
    speakers)

13
  • Some Types of Word Consciousness Activities
  • Creating a Word-Rich Environment
  • Recognizing and Promoting Adept Diction
  • Promoting Word Play
  • Fostering Word Consciousness Through Writing
  • Involving Students in Original Investigations
  • Teaching Students about Words
  • (Graves Watts-Taffe, 2002, 2007)

14
Teaching Individual Words The Word-Learning
Tasks Students Face
  • Building a basic oral vocabulary
  • Learning to read known words
  • Learning to read new words representing known
    concepts
  • Learning to read new words representing new and
    challenging concepts
  • Learning new meanings for known words
  • Clarifying and enriching the meanings of known
    words
  • Moving words into students expressive
    vocabularies
  • Building English learners vocabularies
  • Teaching vocabulary to improve comprehension

15
Teaching Individual Words Levels of Word
Knowledge
  • No knowledge
  • Very general sense
  • Narrow, context-bound knowledge
  • Having a basic knowledge of a word and being able
    to use it in many appropriate situations.
  • Rich, decontextualized knowledge

  • Beck, McKeown, Kucan, 2002

16
Teaching Individual Words Identifying Words To
Teach1
  • Word lists (Biemiller, in press Chall Dale,
    1995, Coxhead, 2000 Fry, 2006 Hiebert, 2005)
  • Testing or asking students (Anderson Freebody,
    1983 White, Slater, Graves, 1989)
  • Selecting tier two words (Beck, McKeown,
    Kucan, 2002)
  • Considering five questions (Graves, 2006, in
    press)

17
  • Identifying Words to Teach2
  • Frys 1,000 Instant Words (Fry Kress, 2007).
    The 1,000 most frequent words
  • Dales list of 3,000 Words (Chall Dale, 1995).
    3,000 words that most 4th graders know
  • Hiebert's Word Zones 5,586/3,913 Words grouped
    into set of 300, 500, 1000, and 2000 words.
    The 4,000 most frequent word families
    http//www.textproject.org/library/resources
  • Biemiller's Words Worth Teaching in
    Kindergarten-Grade Two and in Grades Three-Six
    (Biemiller, in press). One list of about 2,000
    words and one of about 4,000 words.
  • Coxhead's Academic Word (Coxhead, 2000) 570 word
    families that occur reasonably frequently over a
    range of academic texts. http//language.massey.ac
    .nz/staff/awl/corpus.shtml

18
Identifying Words To Teach3 Considering five
questions
  • Is understanding the word important to
    understanding the selection?
  • Does this word represent a specific concept
    students definitely need to know?
  • Are students able to use context or
    structural-analysis skills to discover the word's
    meaning?
  • Can working with this word be useful in
    furthering students context, structural
    analysis, or dictionary skills?
  • How useful is this word outside of the reading
    selection currently being taught?

19
Some Characteristics of Effective Instruction for
Individual Words
  • Instruction that involves both definitional
    information and contextual information is
    markedly stronger than instruction that involves
    only one of these.
  • Instruction that involves activating prior
    knowledge and comparing and contrasting meanings
    is stronger still.
  • More lengthy and more robust instruction that
    involves students in actively manipulating
    meanings, making inferences, searching for
    applications, using prior knowledge, and frequent
    encounters is still stronger.
  • Stronger vocabulary instruction takes more time,
    and with the number of words to be learned we
    very often do not have more time.

20
Three Levels of Effective Instruction for
Individual Words
  • Level One. (1) Pronounce the word, (2) provide a
    student friendly definition, and (3) use the word
    in a contextually rich sentence.
  • Level Two. (1) Pronounce the word, (2) provide a
    student friendly definition, (3) use the word in
    a contextually rich sentence, and (4) provide an
    activity that requires students to activate prior
    knowledge or compare and contrast meanings.
  • Level Three. (1) Pronounce the word, (2) provide
    a student friendly definition, (3) use the word
    in a contextually rich sentence, (4) provide an
    activity that requires students to activate prior
    knowledge or compare and contrast meanings, and
    (5) and involve students in actively manipulating
    meanings, making inferences, and/or searching for
    applications.

21
Some Things Not to Do in Teaching Individual Words
  • Merely mentioning word meanings and assuming that
    you have therefore taught them

Giving students words out of context and asking
them to look up the words in the dictionary
Asking students to use context before teaching
them how to do so
Doing speeded trials with individual words
Giving students only a definition or only the
word in context
22
  • PROVIDING STUDENT-FRIENDLY DEFINITIONSA KEY TO
    ANY METHOD OF INSTRUCTION
  • Providing student-friendly definitionsones that
    are accurate and that students will understandis
    no mean task. Below are a definition of dazzling
    from the dictionary on my computer and a
    student-friendly definition from Beck, McKeown,
    and Kucan (2003).
  • bright enough to deprive someone of sight
    temporarily
  • If something is dazzling, that means that its
    so bright that you can hardly look at it.
  • The Collins COBUILD New Students Dictionary
    (Harper-Collins, 2006) and the Longman Study
    Dictionary of American English (2006) provide
    many excellent examples of student-friendly
    definitions.

23
BUILDING A BASIC ORAL VOCABULARY SHARED BOOK
READING
24
  • Characteristics of Effective Shared Book Reading
  • Both the adult readers and children are active
    participants.
  • Involves several readings
  • Focuses attention on words
  • The reading is fluent, engaging, and lively.
  • Deliberately stretches students and scaffolds
    their efforts
  • Employs carefully selected words and books

25
Biemillers Approach to Shared Book Reading
  • Select books that are interesting, enjoyable, and
    contain the sorts of words you want to teach 30
    books for the year.
  • Select words known by some but not all students,
    not Becks tier 2 words. 24 words per book
  • Day 1 Read the book once, including some
    comprehension questions.
  • Days 2-4. Read the book 3 times teaching 8 of
    the 24 words each time. Definitions should be
    short and student friendly.
  • Day 5. Review all 24 words in new contexts but
    with the same definitions.
  • Biemiller Slonim, 2006

26
Sales Graves First 4,000 Word Approach to
Shared Book Reading
  • It is individualized and web-based, with a lot of
    interaction and games.
  • It is targeted at students with small English
    listening vocabularies in grades 1-4.
  • It teaches the most frequent 4,000 word families.
  • Students move through the program at their own
    pace, and can move up or back depending on their
    performance on online tests on each of 400 units,
    which each deal with 10 words.
  • In each unit, students are only taught those of
    the 10 words that the pretest indicated they do
    not know.
  • Sales Graves, 2007

27
  • What It Means to Know the Most Frequent 4,000
    Words
  • The words we are teaching are 3,913 word families
    (base words and their common inflected forms)
    taken from a list developed by Hiebert (2005).
    Hiebert divided the words into four zones the
    first 300 words, the next 500 words, the next
    1,200 words, and the final 2,000 words.
  • The value of knowing these words is shown in the
    next four slides, which show a passage from a
    biography written for upper elementary students
    and the words that would be familiar to students
    who knew (1) only the 300 words in Zone 1, (2)
    the 800 words in Zones 1-2, the 2,000 words in
    Zones 1-3, and the 4,000 words in Zones 1-4.

28
(1) Knowing only the 300 words in Zone 1, a
student could read only the words shown
here. Could it be an ________? The year before,
had seen one for the first time
when his mother took him to a ______ __________
in , ________. He had _______,
, as the _____ ____ a _______
_____________ by ________ _______ on the _______
of a __________ that was ______ on the ______.
Now _____ an ________ was right here in
_________, and about to ___ over his house. Not
_______ to a thing, _______ ______ the
______ and _______ up the _______ ____ of the
house to its ____. From there he had a good ____
of the ___________ _____, _______ ____ the
place. And in the ___, ______ ever
______, he saw the _____.
29
(2) Knowing the 800 words in Zones 1 and 2, a
student could read the words shown in this
version. Could it be an ? The year
before, had seen one for the first time
when his mother took him to a
__________ in ____ _____, ________. He had
watched, , as the gave a
by ________ _______ on the _______ of a
___________ that was ______ on the ground. Now
maybe an ________ was right here in _________,
and about to ___ over his house. Not _______ to
____ a thing, _______ opened the window and
_______ up the _______ ____ of the house to its
____. From there he had a good view of the
___________ River, _______ _______ past the
_______ place. And in the sky, coming ever
______, he saw the _____.
30
(3) Knowing the 2,000 words in Zones 1-3, a
student could read the words shown in this
version. Could it be an airplane? The year
before, Charles had seen one for the first time
when his mother took him to a flying __________
in ____ _____, Virginia. He had watched,
_________, as the _____ gave a _______
_____________ by ________ oranges on the _______
of a __________ that was ______ on the ground.
Now maybe an airplane was right here in
_________, and about to fly over his house. Not
_______ to ____ a thing, Charles opened the
window and climbed up the _______ roof of the
house to its ____. From there he had a good view
of the ___________ River, _______ ________ past
the __________ place. And in the sky, coming
ever closer, he saw the plane.
31
(4) Knowing the 4,000 words in Zones 1-4, a
student would be able to read everything in the
version below that not in grey. Could it be an
airplane? The year before, Charles had seen one
for the first time when his mother took him to a
flying exhibition in Fort Myer, Virginia. He had
watched, enthralled, as the pilot gave a bombing
demonstration by dropping oranges on the outline
of a battleship that was traced on the ground.
Now maybe an airplane was right here in
Minnesota, and about to fly over his house. Not
wanting to miss a thing, Charles opened the
window and climbed up the sloping roof of the
house to its peak. From there he had a good view
of the Mississippi River, flowing languidly past
the Lindbergh place. And in the sky, coming ever
closer, he saw the plane.

RICH AND POWERFUL INSTRUCTION
  • Semantic mapping (Heimlich Pittleman, 1986)
  • Semantic feature analysis (Pittleman et al.,
    1991)
  • Vocabulary visits (Blachowicz Obrochta,
    2005)
  • Robust instruction (Beck, McKeown, Kucan,
    2002)
  • Frayer method (Frayer, Frederick,
    Klausmeier, 1969)

38
Semantic Mapping
  1. Put a word representing a central concept on the
    board, overhead, or lcd.
  2. Ask students to work in groups listing as many
    words related to the central concept as they can.
  3. Display students words grouped in broad
    categories.
  4. Have students name the categories and perhaps
    suggest additional ones.
  5. Discuss with students the central concept, the
    other words, the categories, and their
    interrelationships.

39
Semantic Mapping Example
Conditions
Owners Run down
Hard to reach Small
Make good money
Crowded Don't live
there Drab
Often don't care
TENEMENT Costs
Tenants Not cheap
People without a lot of money
Lower than some places New immigrants
Too high City
people
Large families
40
Semantic Feature Analysis
1. Construct a grid that contains a set of
related words on one axis and a list of features
that each of the words may or may not have on the
other axis. 2. Initially, show students a
completed grid and discuss what the checks and
pluses indicate. 3. Later, show students grids
with the terms and attributes filled in but
without the pluses and minuses and ask students
to insert them. 4. Later still, show grids with
some terms and some attributes, ask students to
add to both the list of related words and the
list of attributes, and then to fill in the
pluses and minuses. 5. After students are
proficient in working with partially completed
grids you supply, they can create their own grids
for sets of related words they suggest.

Vocabulary Visits
  • Model the instruction on the plan and activities
    of a field trip.
  • Identify a topic, thematically oriented
    informational texts, and key words.
  • Choose a photo to stimulate discussion and anchor
    a large poster.
  • Have students list the words they know about the
    topic and put them on the poster.
  • Take a field trip using the poster Ask students
    for words they see, hear, and feel. Put them on
    the poster on post-its, grouping related words.
  • Read sections of the books aloud. Have kids give
    "thumbs up" when they hear one of the words. Add
    key words to the poster as necessary.
  • Finish the books. Reorganize words as seems
    appropriate
  • Do extension activities like word games, sorting,
    writing, and reading new topically related books.
  • Evaluate with such activities as listing words
    and writing summaries of the books, plays, or
    poetry that focus on the topic.

45
Robust Instruction
  • Begin with a student-friendly definition.
  • Have students work with the word more than once.
  • Provide the word in more than one context.
  • Engage students in activities in which they deal
    with various facets of the target words meaning
    and with investigating relationships between the
    target word and other words.
  • Have students create uses for the word.
  • Encourage students to use the word outside of
    class.

46
Robust Instruction Partial Example
  • 1. ambitiousreally wanting to succeed at
    something
  • 3. Susan's ambition to become an Olympic high
    jumper was so strong that she was willing to
    practice six hours a day.
  • 3. Rupert had never been an ambitious person,
    and after his accident he did little other than
    watch television.
  • 4. Would you like to have a really ambitious
    person as a friend? Why or why not?
  • Which of the following better demonstrates
    ambition? (a) A stock broker gets up every day
    and goes to work. (b) A stock broker stays late
    at work every day, trying to close as many deals
    as possible before leaving.
  • 4. How likely is it that an ambitious person is
    lethargic? How likely is it than an ambitious
    person would be energetic?
  • 5. Write a brief story showing an ambitious
    person.

47
Frayer Method
  1. Define the new concept.
  2. Distinguish between the new concept and similar
    concepts it might be confused with.
  3. Give examples, and explain why they are examples.
  4. Give non-examples, and explain why they are
    non-examples.
  5. Present students with examples and non-examples,
    and ask students to distinguish between them.
  6. Have students present examples and non-examples,
    explain why they are one or the other, and
    provide feedback.

48
Frayer Method Partial Example
  1. A globe is a ball like model of planet.
  2. A globe is different from a map because a map is
    flat.
  3. The most common globe is a globe of the earth. A
    less common globe is a globe of another planet
    like Mars.
  4. A map of California. Directions about how to get
    to a friends house.
  5. A photograph of New York taken from an
    airplane.A ball-shaped model of the moon.
  6. student-generated examples

49
INTRODUCTORY INSTRUCTION
  • Providing glossaries
  • Using pictures
  • Context/dictionary/discussion
  • Context/relationship

50
Providing glossaries Probably the least
time-consuming and least intrusive thing you can
do to assist students with the vocabulary of
selections they are reading is to provide
glossaries of important terms. tsu-na-mi. A
large wave that can occur after an underwater
earthquake
51
Using Pictures Solar system. The nine planets
that revolve around our sun make up our solar
system. Someday it may be possible for humans to
explore all the planets in our solar system, but
that will not be soon.
52
  • Context/Dictionary/Discussion Procedure
  • Give students the word in a fairly rich
    context.
  • For example, admire We admire the paintings
    of great artists at the museum.
  • Ask them to look it up in the dictionary.
  • Discuss the definitions they come up with.

53
Context-Relationship Procedure Create a brief
paragraph that uses the target word three or four
times. Follow the paragraph with a
multiple-choice item that checks students
understanding of the word.
  1. Explain the purpose of the procedure.
  2. Pronounce the word to be taught.
  3. Read the paragraph in which the word appears.
  4. Read the possible definitions, and ask students
    to choose the best one.
  5. Pause to give students time to check a
    definition, give them the correct answer, and
    answer any questions they have.
  6. Read the word and its definition a final time.

54
Context-Relationship Procedure Example
Gathered The children gathered eggs from the
henhouse. Then they put the eggs in a basket.
Gathering eggs was something they did every day
when they visited their grandmothers farm.
Gathered means that a person picks up and
collects something. Gathered means
A. dropping things. B. picking up things.
C. sharing ideas.
55
MAJOR POINTS OF THE PRESENTATION When it comes
to teaching individual words, one size does not
fit all because
  • There are a variety of effective methods of
    teaching individual words. I have classified
    these as Introductory Methods and Rich and
    Powerful Methods.
  • There are so many words to teach that we cannot
    teach all of them in depth.
  • There are various levels of work knowledge that
    we seek to create in students.
  • There are various word learning taskslearning a
    basic oral vocabulary, learning to read known
    words, learning new labels, learning new
    concepts, etc.
  • Both students and teachers need variety in
    instruction.
