The reading coaches in our county sent out a fact sheet on the topic of vocabulary. They recommend using text talk with read aloud books designed for k - 4th. http:www.scholastic.com Engaging the student in word awareness,| in conversation, asking and answering questions, choral reading and word building. Semantic mapping/webbing to help with limited background knowledge of words. Write the key word or phrase from the reading selection. Have students think of as many words as they know that relate to this key idea. Write the words on the sides of the board. Ask students to group words into logical | |
categories and labl each category. Encourage the students to debate/discuss the choce of category for each word. Have the students read the text selection and repeat the process adding new words and categories. Word sorting seems to be mentioned a lot. Antonyms, synonyms, roots, similies, metaphors, Frayer Model Graphic Organizer which is created by placing the word in the center of four squares. In the upper right square write the word definition, in the upper left write characteristics, in the bottom left write examples and in the bottom right square write non-examples.
