Vocabulary: Defining Best Practice in Reading First Schools Part 2 Georgia Reading First
Today’s Goals • Learn about scientifically-based instructional approaches (in addition to read-alouds) • Discuss how these approaches are being (or could be) implemented in Reading First schools
In addition to read-alouds, what are some of the most effective ways of teaching vocabulary?
Some Research-Based Techniques • Semantic Feature Analysis • Graphic Organizers • List-Group-Label • Semantic Maps (word webs) • Word Lines • Word Sorts
As we examine these approaches, think about how well your core incorporates each one. (We’ll come back to this question!)

A graphic organizer is a diagram that shows how key terms are related.
What’s so great about them? • They help kids “see” abstract content. • There is little to “read.” • They are easy to construct and discuss. • Technical terms can be taught in clusters. • They enhance recall and understanding. • They have an impressive research base.

List-Group-Label Hilda Taba
List Students brainstorm all the words they can recall at the end of a unit. Group Students suggest logical ways to group the words. Label Students suggest a label for each group they form.

Semantic Maps (Word Webs)
Brainstorming Students offer ideas related to a topic. Mapping Teacher and students form categories and map the words into a diagram. Reading Students read a nonfiction selection. Completing the Map Teacher and students revisit the map and together refine and expand it.

Semantic maps have the advantage of mirroring how words are stored in the lexicon.
