What We Know From Research
• Students learn new words by learning strategies for understanding unfamiliar words (Blaschowicz and Fisher 2004)
• Knowing a word means more than knowing a definition (Scott and Nagy 1997)
• Discussion leads to vocabulary learning (Stahl and Clark 1987)
Mess“disorderly mass”• “A mess of fish”• “You’re a mess!”• “This is a mess!”
Floozy
• “ A slovenly or vulgar woman”
remissible
• “Capable of being remitted”

8%
Of word learning carries over to long term memory when
students look up words and write definitions.
