This document describes how to use Frayer Method note cards to improve student vocabulary and comprehension. The strategy involves having students create notecards for important terms, with the word written in the middle and four labeled sections for the definition, examples of how it is similar to other concepts, non-examples, and examples. Studies show this method effectively teaches vocabulary in a clear manner by relating new terms to prior knowledge and allowing students to see connections across subjects. Teachers should use this pre-vocabulary instruction strategy with whole-class participation to define terms and fill out the notecards before starting a new chapter.
