Vocabulary plays a
fundamental role in the
reading process and is critical
to reading comprehension.
Vocabulary
knowledge is important
because it encompasses all the
words we must know to access
our background knowledge,
express our ideas and
communicate effectively, and
learn about new concepts.
If students do not adequately
and steadily grow their
vocabulary knowledge, reading
comprehension will be affected
(Chall & Jacobs, 2003).
In its analysis of the research on
vocabulary instruction, the
National Reading Panel (2000)
found that there is no one best
method for vocabulary
instruction, and that vocabulary
should be taught both directly
and indirectly.
The FRAYER MODEL is a graphic
organizer that helps students
determine or clarify the meaning of
vocabulary words encountered
while listening, reading, and viewing
texts
This technique requires students to define target
vocabulary and apply their knowledge by generating
examples and non- examples, giving characteristics,
and/ or drawing a picture to illustrate the meaning of
the word.
This information is placed on a chart that is divided into
four sections to provide a visual representation for
students.
This strategy stresses understanding words within the
larger context of a reading selection by requiring
students, first, to analyze the items (definition and
characteristics) and, second, to synthesize/apply this
information by thinking of examples and non-
examples.
BEFORE
READING
to activate
background
knowledge
The Frayer Model can be used:
AFTER
READING
to assess
vocabulary
DURING
READING
to monitor
vocabulary
develop understanding of key
concepts and vocabulary
The Frayer Model helps you
draw on prior knowledge to make
connections among concepts
compare attributes and
examples.
think critically to find
relationships between concepts
and to develop deeper
understand word meanings
The Frayer Model helps you
make visual connections and
personal associations
review key vocabulary before a
test or quiz
create a “vocabulary wall” for
quick reference of word meanings
Elements of Frayer Model
DEFINITION
FACTS/
CHARACTERISTICS
EXAMPLES NON-EXAMPLES
Explain the Frayer model chart to the class by
using a common word to demonstrate the
various components. Model the type and
quality of desired answers when giving the
examples. Think out loud as you try to come
up with examples and non examples, etc.
Pictures/symbols can also be used.
Step 1
Then review a pre-selected list
of key concept words with the
class before reading about the
topic in the textbook. Read
the text selection.
Step 2
Choose a key concept or word
from the topic read and have
students help you complete
the Frayer chart.
Step 3
Pass out blank copies of the
Frayer Model or have students
create a chart in their copies.
Step 4
Then students practice the
strategy in pairs or in small groups
with the key concepts and key
vocabulary from the topic. (Each
group could also be given different
key concept words).
Step 5
The groups share their completed
charts with each other. Students
can then add additional words/
images/symbols to the Frayer
chart until all four categories are
substantially represented.
Step 6
Use this tool to quickly assess students for learning.
Make copies of each Frayer graphic organizer so every
student has a copy of all key concepts to use for review.
OR display completed Frayer graphic organizers on a
“Vocabulary Wall” for student reference.
Use the Pic Collage app for iPad to allow students to create
Frayer model graphic organizers using a tablet device (see
http: //pic-collage.com).
Use online templates to create models that give students a
clear understanding of the concepts under discussion.

Editor's Notes

  • #5  Before Reading Use the graphic organizer to activate students’ prior knowledge. Show students a completed Frayer Model but leave out the name in the concept circle. See if they can name the main concept by looking at the four squares. During Reading As a class, generate a list of words that connect to the main concept. Then, divide students into small groups to fill in the four sections of the Frayer Model using the list of words that was brainstormed. After Reading Discuss the main concept of the Frayer Model and talk about the nonexamples. Add any new knowledge to the graphic organizer.
