Vocabulary’s Impact on Learning
Significant predictor of reading comprehension
(Baker, Simmons, & Kame’enui, “Vocabulary Acquisition: Research Bases,”
What Reading Tells Us About Children With Diverse Learning Needs, 1998)

Vocabulary’s Impact on Learning
Vocabulary size in kindergarten serves as a strong predictor of reading comprehension level in later grades.
(Scarborough, “Connecting Early Language and Literacy to Later Reading [Dis]abilities,” Handbook for Research in Early Literacy, 2001)
![Page 8: Vocabulary and Academic Language in the CCSS Grades K–5 Nancy Frey, PhD San Diego State University](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d885503460f94a6c771/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Vocabulary’s Impact on Learning
Context-embedded vocabulary instruction promotes language acquisition for second language learners
(Tong, Irby, Lara-Alecio, & Mathes, “English and Spanish Acquisition by Hispanic Second Graders in Developmental Bilingual Programs,” Hispanic Journal of Behavior Sciences, 2008)
![Page 9: Vocabulary and Academic Language in the CCSS Grades K–5 Nancy Frey, PhD San Diego State University](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d885503460f94a6c771/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• “Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple meaning words and phrases …”
• “Explore word relationships and nuances in word meanings …”
• “Use words and phrases acquired through conversations, reading and being read to, and responding to texts …”

• Role in text complexity
• Predictive of student difficulty
• Tier 2 words often overlooked in favor of Tier 3
• Difference between “words worth knowing” and those that are “essential to understanding”
• Difference between knowing the definition and knowing the meaning

How Do Young Children Build Schema?
• Authentic experiences
• Close observation
• Dialogue with others
These are the same conditions that contribute to vocabulary development.

An Intentional Vocabulary Initiative
• Make it intentional through word selection and intentional instruction.
• Make it transparent through teacher modeling of word solving and word learning.
• Make it useable with collaborative learning.
• Make it personal by fostering student ownership.
• Make it a priority with schoolwide practices. (Frey & Fisher, Learning Words Inside and Out, Grades 1–6: Vocabulary
Instruction That Boosts Achievement in All Subject Areas, 2009)

Questions for Selecting Vocabulary
1. Representative2. Repeatability3. Transportable
4. Contextual analysis
5. Structural analysis
6. Cognitive load
• Is it critical to understanding?• Will it be used again?• Is it needed for discussions or
writing?• Can they use context to figure it
out?• Can they use structure?• Have I exceeded the number
they can learn?

Use gateway affixes to increase access to unfamiliar vocabulary.

Re-, dis-, un-, in-/im- account for 50 percent of all the prefixed words readers will ever see.
-s, -es, -ed, and -ing account for 65 percent of all suffixed words.

Words of the Week
• Five words a week (Port: to, out )
– airport, transport, portable, port, report
• Group them by affix or derivation.
• Grade levels propose words.
• The goal is to build vocabulary and teach patterns for unfamiliar words.
• Consider creating separate K–2 and 3–6 lists.
• Primary lists can draw from Dolch and Ogden basic English word lists.

Ideas for Extending WOW Efforts
• Post the words on classroom word walls.
• Give extra credit for using WOW words in writing.
• Post words each week on school website and in newsletter.
• Use words in games. (Bingo, Password, Concentration)
