This K-5 resource is a weekly vocabulary-building program. It can be used for one classroom. Please purchase additional licenses if you wish to use school-wide. This program combines research-based information for the most effectiveness. The vocabulary words chosen for this program are derived from various resources to include the most common and repetitive words students will encounter in their reading, writing, speaking and listening. “Promoting incidental learning and word consciousness through frequent and deliberate modeling of sophisticated vocabulary can add substantial breadth to students’ vocabularies.” (The Vocabulary-Rich Classroom article) The CHOICE of words is NOT as important as the USE and PRACTICE of these words!
From the article, The Vocabulary-Rich Classroom: Modeling Sophisticated Word Use to Promote Word Consciousness and Vocabulary Growth by Holly B. Lane, Stephanie Arriaza Allen The Reading Teacher, Vol. 63, No. 5, February, 2010.
“Unless vocabulary becomes an integral part of everyday literacy instruction, the gap among groups will continue to widen, making it harder for low-performing groups to catch up to their peers.”
“Thus, vocabulary instruction should be ‘robust, vigorous, strong, and powerful in effect’.” (Beck et al., 2002, p.2)
“To have an effect on reading comprehension, vocabulary instruction should include multiple exposures to a word, teach both definitions and contexts, and engage students in deep processing.” (Beck et al., 2008)
