What About
The Big Words?
NIKKI L. PETERSON
TITLE 1 READING SPECIALIST
COCHRANTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Poorly developed word recognition skills are the
most pervasive and debilitating source of
reading challenges.
Adams, 1990; Perfetti, 1985; Share & Stanovich, 1995
In School…
• Direct instruction in decoding begins to taper off after second grade
• Beyond second grade, students begin to encounter more and more
multisyllabic words.
• From 5th grade on, the average student encounters approximately
10,000 new words. Nagy & Anderson 1984
• Most of the multisyllabic words the reader encounters will be content
words or words needed to make meaning of the reading.
6th Grade Student Reading Sample
• Uhhh….A something is an area of land that is set apart or distant from other land masses.
There are uhhh seven continents on Earth. The largest of those is Asia. This huge relgion also
has the most people with more than sixty percent of the world’s total population. If you look
at a map of Asia you will see that it is home to many countries uhh whose people speak many
different languages. Such a large continent has a vast number of land forms. From vast
mountains to some of the largest plants in the world. The continent is inspired with many
rivers and lakes and something by several oceans. In addition to all the water there are so
there are also huge expenses something of deserts. Some of which are very hot and dry while
others are very cold and dry. The climate of Asia is as varied as its land and people. In the far
north winters are long and cold while summers are short and cool. Further south the climate
becomes middler….milder…with longer summers and wetter winters. Heavy rains called
monsoons frequently flood parts of the countries. In south southern Asia, other areas have
wonderful sunny summers.
Our English language IS NOT
crazy. It has a very strong
phonemic, orthographic, and
morphologic base.
