VocabularyWhat does vocabulary look like?
When teaching vocabulary to students you need to teach them to: - say key words accurately - read key words accurately - spell and write key words - understand the meanings of words - how to work out the meanings of new words - understand key words in particular contexts or in unfamiliar ways - link the words with related words in networks - see how new words ‘came from’ words they already know. (Munro, 2005) Vocabulary development, includes encoding word meanings and networks of meanings as both influence reading ability. The size of a reader's vocabulary influences the number of words that can be recognized. In addition, a knowledge of vocabulary predicts comprehension ability (Dewitz & Dewitz, 2003). Posters
