The document discusses strategies for improving students' vocabulary. It recommends that teachers encourage students to read extensively to learn new words indirectly through context. It also stresses the importance of direct vocabulary instruction, such as teaching individual words before reading and using word learning strategies like dictionaries and word parts. The key message is that both indirect learning through reading and direct instruction of words and strategies are needed to develop a strong vocabulary.

4.  Words (vocabulary) tell us WHAT to say.
 Grammar tells us HOW to say.

6.  Improved performance
 Effective communication

10.  The importance of vocabulary knowledge
has long been recognized in the
development of reading skill
 The large the readers vocabulary (either
oral or print) the easier it is to make sense of
the text

11.  Improving your vocabulary means
improving your capacity to learn.
 Vocabulary development focuses on
helping students learn the meaning of
new words and concepts in various
contexts
 It will be easier to read and
comprehend what we have read.
 If you know a couple of key words, you
can quickly explain to another person

12.  “Without grammar, very little can be
conveyed; without vocabulary nothing can
be conveyed”.
 By knowledge and memorizing a lots of
vocabulary we can easily and fluently to
communicate with others.
 We will be able to express more ideas so we
can communicate the ideas more
effectively.

13. TEACHING STRATEGIES

14.  Reading ,writing and word recognition
are all important aspects of a child’s
learning and development during the
elementary school years . There are
several approaches you can take to
increasing your student’s vocabulary .
 Read read and read . The more you
read especially novels and literacy
works but also magazines and
newspapers. The new word you will be
exposed to.

15.  Imagine your vocabulary divided into 3
groups:
1) The words you are absolutely
comfortable with , you know their
meaning and frequently use them in
everyday conversations.
2) The words you often come upon in
book and speech of other people, you
can guess their meaning but hesitate
when it comes to using them.
3) Completely unfamiliar words ; you do
not understand their meaning and
have no clue how they could be used.

16.  READING
 DICTIONARY
 USE IT OR LOSE IT
 LEARN ONE NEW WORD A DAY
 GAMES
 QUALITY INTREACTIONS
 WORD WIZARD
 WORD DETECTIVE

18. Reading is one of the top ways to increase
a child’s vocabulary. Stick to any alloted
school library time you have or you can
pick out some books at the book store to
bring into class to share with the students
show them the sections of the library that
contain books that are at their reading
level even comics book work for kids that
are hesitant to pick up a regular book;
atleast they are reading. To encourage
frequent reading set a designated daily
reading homework. Suggest to the parents
that may be they should sit with their child
and the two of them can have family read
time.

20. If a student doesn’t understand a word, don’t
just tell him what it means, show him how to
look it up in a dictionary. Also point out that
the synonyms and antonyms that accompany
the words so he can make the connection
between them. Instruct the students to write
down difficult words or spelling list words on
note cards for easy reference.

22. Don’t settle after you learn a new word by
reading it or looking iot up in the dictionary:
these are good starts, but its by using the new
words that you truly commit them to your long-
term memory.
Be creative and try to use your newly learned
words in as many ways as possible:
Write them down;
Say them aloud;
Create sentences with them, mentally or in
writing;
Try to use them in a conversation;
Discuss them with friends.

24. If you learn one new word every day, you’ll
soon notice they add up pretty quickly. I like
to think of it as the “ kaizen way of growing
your vocabulary” and what makes this
strategy stand out is that it can be used by
any one, no matter how busy one’s schedule
is. In the same way I grow my collection of
favorite quotes in baby steps by receiving a
new famous quote everyday, I also learned to
enjoy growing my vocabulary by committing
myself to learn atleast one new word each
day.

26. Make learning fun with some vocabulary
games. Good ol’ hangman is a sure winner
and can incorporate the whole class as they
take turns guessing a letter. Have scrabble jr.
handy in the classroom to pump his vocab
knowledge there are plenty of online
vocabulary and spelling games for your
students to play, too. You may want to find
some that you like and send a list home with
your students for reference.

28. Teachers and parents are both invaluable
sources of vocabulary lessons for the children.
Engage your students in some in-depth
discussions and suggest that the parents do
the same. Ask questions that involve more
than a “yes” or “no” answer. Recommend to
the parents that they should inquire about
school projects, current topics or recent field
trips. Quality discussions will engage the
students thinking and require their full
attention. Ask thought provoking questions
and patiently wait for a response.

30. The teacher divides students into groups. Each
student in the group is responsible for learning
three new words in the chapter. Each “word
wizard” is instructed to write the definition of the
word in his/her own words as well as draw an
illustration of the word.
After each word wizard has completed their task,
it is their job to come back to their group and
teach their peers what they have learned.
Cooperative learning is effective way for students
to learn and process information. The jigsaw
learning technique is a quick and effective way
for students to work with their peers while learning
key vocabulary words. For this activity each
student is responsible for learning three new words
and teaching those words to their group

32. The most valuable that you can do to increase
your student’s vocabulary is to encourage them to
read. Research shows that wide reading is the
main pathway for word acquisition. This activity
enables students to see words in different contexts,
therefore deepening their knowledge. It requires
students to find new words as they encounter
them in their daily reading. Here’s how word
detective works:
The teacher gives students a list of key words to
search for.
Students are to write each target word and its
sentence on a sticky note, then place it on their
desk each time they encounter a key word.
At the end of each school day, devote a few
minutes to reading each sticky note.

34. The scientific research on vocabulary
instruction reveals that
 Most vocabulary is learned indirectly
and
 And some vocabulary must be taught
directly

35. Children learn most of the words indirectly,
through everyday experiences with oral
and written language.

36. There are three ways to learn words
meanings indirectly
Children learn words meanings
 Through conversations with other
people.
 From listening to adult read to them.
 By reading broadly on their own.

37. Although a great deal of vocabulary is
learned indirectly, some vocabulary
should be taught directly.

38. Direct instruction includes

39. In particular:
 Teaching specific words before reading
helps both vocabulary learning and
reading comprehension
 Extended instruction that promotes
active engagement with vocabulary
improves word learning
 Repeated exposure to vocabulary in
many contexts aids word learning

40. Students need to develop effective word
learning strategies.
It includes:
 Using dictionaries and other reference
aids
 Using word parts
 Using context clues

43. The words we must know to
communicate effectively.

44.  If we want to express our opinions in any
language, we need to know a set of words
that will convey our views about any topic.
this set of words is called vocabulary.

45.  Oral
vocabulary
refers to
words that
we use: in
speaking or
recognize in
listening.

46.  Reading vocabulary refers to words : we
recognize or use in print.

47. Because:
 beginning readers use
their oral vocabulary to
make sense of the words
they see in print.
 readers must know what
most of the words mean
before they can
understand what they
are reading.

48. Indirectly:
 when students
engage daily in
oral language,
listen to adults
read to them,
and read
extensively on
their own.

49. Directly:
 when students
are explicitly
taught both
individual words
and word
learning
strategies.
