5 The Importance of Vocabulary Vocabulary knowledge is one of the best indicators of verbal ability. Vocabulary knowledge in kindergarten and first grade is a significant predictor of reading comprehension in the middle and secondary grades.
6 The Importance of Vocabulary Vocabulary difficulty strongly influences the readability of text. In fact, vocabulary is far and away the most significant factor influencing text difficulty. Teaching vocabulary can improve reading comprehension for both native English speakers and English learners. (Graves, 2006, 2007)
7 Oral Language & Vocabulary Research Risley, Todd R. Meaningful Differences in Everyday Experience of Young American Children, Social Status Number of words heard per/hour Estimate of number of words heard per/week Encouraging words vs. Discouraging words per/week Welfare Families , vs. 1,100 Children from Working Class Families Children from Professional Families 1, ,000 1,200 vs , ,000 3,200 vs. 500
8 Common Core Vocabulary L.1.5 With guidance and support from adults, demonstrate understanding of word relationships and nuances in word meanings. Introduce- Quarter 1 L.1.5a. Sort words into categories (e.g., colors, clothing) to gain a sense of the concepts the categories represent Develop- Quarter 1 L.1.5c Identify real-life connections between words and their use(e.g., note places at home that are cozy).
9 Common Core Vocabulary Introduce-Quarter 2 L.1.5.b Define words by category and by one or more key attributes (e.g., a duck is a bird that swims; a tiger is a large cat with stripes). L.1.5.d Distinguish shades of meaning among verbs differing in manner (e.g., look, peek, glance, stare, glare, scowl) and adjectives differing in intensity (e.g., large, gigantic) by defining or choosing them or by acting out the meanings.

11 Components of a Successful Vocabulary Program High-Quality Classroom Language Reading Aloud to Students Explicit Vocabulary Instruction Word-Learning Strategies Wide Independent Reading
12 High-Quality Classroom Language Use high quality vocabulary in the classroom. To ensure understanding, tell students the meaning of words when first used. Don t procrastinate on your work. Procrastinate means to wait to doing something you should be doing. Pair in the meaning of the word by using parallel language. Please refrain from talking. Please don t talk.
13 Read-Alouds Actively engage students during story book and informational text reading to increase vocabulary gains. Ask questions that promote passage comprehension. Retell and prediction questions are particularly useful. Use a variety of responses including: Group (choral) responses Partner responses Physical responses 13
14 Read-Aloud Vocabulary Instruction Incidental Exposure Example: Instructional Focus I don t know what I would have done. Curiosity might have gotten the better of me. Explanation: Teacher infuses a vocabulary word into a discussion about the read-aloud.
15 Read-Aloud Vocabulary Instruction Embedded Instruction Example: Instructional Focus And he s using an oar-a stick-to move the raft [pointing to the illustration]. Explanation: Teacher provides a synonym before the target term oar, pointing to the illustration.
16 Read-Aloud Vocabulary Instruction Focused Instruction Example: Instructional Focus Let s get set means let s get ready [elicits examples of things students get ready for]. Explanation: Teacher leads a discussion on what it means to, get set including getting set for school and party.
17 Explicit Vocabulary Instruction Vocabulary activities specifically designed to teach new words Explicit vocabulary strategies Use informational and narrative texts Promote thinking and extend discourse Encourage use of novel words Provide access to print Examine word relationships Teach word parts Use graphic organizers 17
18 Successful Vocabulary Instruction A successful approach to vocabulary instruction involves directly explaining the meanings of words along with thought-provoking, playful and interactive follow-up.
19 Common Core and Three Tiers of Vocabulary
20 Three Tiers of Words Tier One High Frequency Words Tier Two Academic Vocabulary Tier Three Domain-specific Vocabulary 20
21 Three Tiers of Vocabulary Tier 1- Everyday Words (implicit) Used in everyday speech* chair, bed, happy, house (Beck & McKeown, 1985)
22 Three Tiers of Vocabulary Tier Two - Words in general use, not content specific = Academic Vocabulary Appear far more in written texts than in speech concentrate, absurd, fortunate, relieved, dignity, convenient, observation, analyze, persistence ++describe, detail, example
23 Three Tiers of Vocabulary Tier Three- Domain-Specific Words Words related to a specific content or field of study triangle, stem, addition, syllable tundra, igneous, triangle, perpendicular, democracy
24 Explicit Vocabulary Instruction Sources of Words Sources of Tier 2 words for vocabulary instruction WORDS from read-aloud books WORDS from core reading programs WORDS from reading intervention programs WORDS from content area instruction and texts Math Science Social studies Health Art, PE, music, etc. 24
25 Sources of Words for Young Children for the most part ARE NOT words from the texts that young children read ARE words from books that are read to children teacher s and other adult s language
26 Explicit Vocabulary Instruction- Selection of Vocabulary Select words that : are likely unfamiliar are critical to passage understanding. students are likely to encounter in the future and are generally useful. are Tier Two words (Academic Vocabulary) are easily explained to children at their level (Beck & McKeown, 2003) (Stahl, 1986) 26
27 Explicit Vocabulary Instruction Selection of Vocabulary Goldilocks Words Not too difficult Not too easy Just right (Stahl & Stahl, 2004) 27
28 Selection Criteria for Instructional Vocabulary Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 Description Basic words that most children know before entering school Words that appear frequently in texts and for which students already have conceptual understanding Uncommon words that are typically associated with a specific domain or content area Examples clock, baby, happy coincidence, fortunate, insist, adapt chrysalis, peninsula, decimal (Beck, McKeown, Kucan, 2002)
29 How do I determine that a word is TIER 2? Word Is this a generally useful word? Does the word relate to other words and ideas that students know or have been learning? Is the word useful in helping students understand text? If you answer yes to all three questions, it is a tier 2 word. If not, it is probably a tier 3 word.
30 Your Turn-Selecting Tier 2 Words In partners at your table, choose one of the texts you have brought to work with for today. Identify (4 )Tier 2 words you would teach your students. Use the selection criteria to help guide you through this process.
31 What Strategies Would You Use to Teach Your Selected Words? Fold the Line
32 Tier Two Words Handout: Vocabulary Activities Using Tier Two Words Skim the activities Pick one you think you would use!
33 Text Talk: Teaching Vocabulary Using Read Alouds Use books teachers read aloud to students as a source of vocabulary Engage in vocabulary activities after a book has been read K-1 recommendation (I. Beck,M.McKeown & L. Kucan))
34 Text Talk for Young Children A read-aloud approach to enhance children s comprehension and vocabulary acquisition. Introduce the story Read Stopping and asking open-ended questions Following up children's response (e.g. rereading, revoicing) Think and Talk Comprehension discussion Explicit Vocabulary Instruction Extended practice and application
35 Text Talk Explicit Vocabulary Instruction Read story and select 3-6 Tier 2 words. Introduce Vocabulary Step 1: Contextualize each word from text. Step 2: Explain the meaning of the word is explained using student-friendly terms. Step 3: Children repeats the word so they can create a phonological representation of the word.
36 Providing Student-Friendly Definitions Providing student-friendly definitions ones that are accurate and that students will understand is no mean task. Below is a definition of dazzling from the dictionary and a student-friendly definition. Beck, McKeown, and Kucan (2003). bright enough to deprive someone of sight temporarily If something is dazzling, that means that it s so bright that you can hardly look at it. Cobuild 36
37 Text Talk Explicit Vocabulary Instruction Introduce Vocabulary Step 4: Teacher provides examples in contexts and other than the one used in the story. Students also provide their own examples. Step 5: Children say the word again to reinforce the phonological representation.
38 Text Talk Explicit Vocabulary Instruction Develop Vocabulary Step 6: Students engage in activities that allow them to interact with words. These activities serve as a means for students to respond, explain and create their own examples.
39 Activities for Interacting with Words What s the Word Concept Web Making Choices Idea Substitution Situations and Examples Choose the Best Answer Word Association Questions, Answers, Reasons Using All the Words*
40 Interacting with Tier Two Words Study at your table: Vocabulary Activities Using Tier Two Words Activities for Interacting with Words

45 Text Talk Maintaining Words The research strongly points to the need for frequent encounters with new words in order to become a permanent part of a student s vocabulary repertoire. Apply Words Learned to New Stories Using Words in Reading and Writing Situations
46 Other Text Talk Extensions Morning Message Our Words reluctant drowsy loyal Word Tallies # of Times We Have Heard Word IIII III IIII Word Wall Word Jar
47 Supporting English Language Learners In addition to the language-based activities in Text Talk, teachers should shelter instruction by: Using visuals Adding motions or acting out words to be learned
48 Your Turn As a small group, triad or partners, you will practice designing a Text Talk lesson using the a book you brought for today. Complete the Text Talk Planning template Choose at least 2 interactive activities
49 Making Vocabulary Active TPR- Total Physical Response recognizes the value of language being associated with physical responses grammar-based view of language that focuses on meaning, not form evidence-based strategy for English Language Learners strong scamper peek forlorn

51 Word Blasters Strategy used after reading with selected Tier 2 words. Used to prepare students to incorporate words in speaking and writing. Word Masters to Movie Scripts Video Learning Portal
52 Categorizing/Sorting List-Group-Label for Young Children Identify topic Provide or have students generate words related to topic or use picture cards that relate to topic Sort picture cards into group Label the name for each category
53 Categorizing/Sorting Categories Descriptors Familiar Settings & Topics Categories 5 Senses, etc. People, Places, Things
54 Your Turn Each table will be given a card with a topic and type of category As a group, create a chart that shows how you would teach this topic and categories.
55 Connecting Words to Real Life Identify real-life connections between words and their use (e.g., note places at home that are cozy). Vocabulary Word: zones Process: Using the word zones, students will identify real-life connections the word s meaning. They will draw a picture illustrating the kinds of zones we have at school. (quiet zones, play zones, work zones) Evaluation: Oral responses/product
56 Math Tier Two Words
57 Real-Life Connections Family Community Seasons
58 Categorizing/Sorting Semantic Feature Analysis Can modify for Kindergarten students by using pictures on both axis.
59 Semantic Feature Analysis
60 Words and Shades of Meaning Acting out Simon Says talk, march, strut, prance speak, whisper, murmur
61 Shades of Meaning Select a specific vocabulary word, e.g., large. Create a list of semantically similar words. It may work best to think of your target word as being in the center of your continuum. Arrange the words in a way that illustrates an understanding of each word's meaning. Continuums can be done horizontal or vertical, in a ladder like fashion. Have students discuss their rationale for placing certain words in certain locations. Encourage a conversation about the subtle differences among the words.
62 Shades of Word Meaning stroll, wander, trudge, swagger, stride, tread, shuffle, creep
63 A Ladder of Shades of Words humongous gigantic huge massive large big
64 A Bridge One Meaning to Others Sort words by degrees or shades of meaning using visual cues Act out (when possible) the different meanings Awake Tired Drowsy Asleep
65
66 Word Order Make a list of all of the words that you know mean _(happy)_. Write or say them in order from weakest to strongest. Strongest to weakest angry, cross, furious, grumpy
67 Making this Happen With your group, please take time to discuss how you will begin implementation of Common Core explicit vocabulary instruction. What steps might you take to get started?
