Editor's Notes
We know that students arrive at school with varying levels of word knowledge. Students’ word knowledge or vocabularies are influenced by their life experiences and cultural backgrounds. Once in school, students acquire some of their vocabulary knowledge through teacher instruction, frequent interactions with a variety of texts, and participation in a variety of language activities. Teachers need to build on students’ oral vocabularies and extend their developing reading vocabularies. Several types of vocabulary have been identified: Listening vocabulary includes words students hear and understand. Speaking vocabulary includes words students use in everyday speech. Reading vocabulary includes words in print that students know. As students begin to read, reading vocabulary is mapped onto their listening and speaking vocabularies. Writing vocabulary includes words that students understand and can reproduce when writing.
