Vocabulary Points to Ponder

• How many words do you think you know?
• How many words does a non-native speaker need to
  know to survive?
• How do we decide which words to teach?
• How do you best teach vocabulary?

4
Research Says

• a large and rich vocabulary is the hallmark of
  an educated individual.
• (Beck, McKeown, Kucan, 2002)
• Good vocabulary teaching makes students excited
  about words and leads them to attend more closely
  to them.
• (Stahl Sheil, 1998)

5
Research also says

• General gaps in vocabulary knowledge known as
  word poverty seem most prevalent in populations
  largely made up of students from minority,
  English language learning, or low socioeconomic
  backgrounds.
• -Juel Deffes, 2004

6
Did you know

• There are 500,000 words in the English Language
• Educated adults know about 50,000 words.
• The average non-native speaker needs to know
  5,000 words to survive.
• Children need to learn about 3,000 words every
  year of school.
• By the first grade, the vocabulary of the
  disadvantaged student is half that of the
  advantaged student, and over time, that gap
  widens.

7
Vocabulary Facts

• Poor decoders rely more heavily on context clues
  vs. phonics.
• Only 50 of time are context clues helpful.
• 3rd-4th grade is where vocab. gets tough.
• You cant use a dictionary
• if you dont know anything
• about the word.

8
How important is vocabulary size?

• Imagine how much harder your life would be if you
  didn't understand 75 of the words you currently
  know. Imagine if reading the front page of the
  newspaper was like reading this passage of text
   
•    "While hortenting efrades the populace of the
  vaderbee class, most experts concur that a
  scrivant rarely endeavors to decry the ambitions
  and shifferings of the moulant class.  Deciding
  whether to oxant the blatantly maligned Secting
  party, most moulants will tolerate the
  subjugation of staits, savats, or tempets only so
  long as the scrivant pays tribute to the derivan,
  either through preem or exaltation."

9
Teaching Vocabulary

• Three important instructional objectives in a
  comprehensive program of vocabulary instruction
• teach specific words
• teach students to learn words independently
• help students to develop an appreciation for
  words and to experience enjoyment and
  satisfaction in their use
• Baumann, Kameenui, and Ash (2003)

  and write definitions
