  1. Taking Delight in Words Using Oral Language To Build Young Children’s Vocabularies AliyaMalik, Meagan Hover, Brittany O’Hare, Liz Casper

  2. Goals for the Children • They will learn to read • Their listening and speaking vocabularies will become enlarged and enriched • Focuses on texts read aloud to children rather read by children. • Presents activities that take into account the kind of support young children need to make sense of words.

  3. Limitations for Enhancing Vocabulary • Do not come from basic text materials • Early text materials are not good sources for adding new words to children’s vocabulary repertoires • These texts only use a limited amount of simple words, such as run and ball. • New vocabulary is not introduced

  4. Sources for Enhancing Vocabularies • Read aloud stories that are above their reading level • Trade books • Elaborate on basic stories with more difficult vocabulary. Example: • The story ends with “Mmm, good.” Here, you can introduce the word scrumptious. • Activities

  5. Text Talk • Enhance comprehension through interspersed open questions that ask children to consider the ideas in the story, talk about them, and make connections among them as the story moves along • Enhance vocabulary development • There are many different ways to use text talk to enhance students vocabularies

  6. Sequenced Activities for Teaching Words • First, the word is contextualized for its role in the story • Next, create a phonological representation of the word by having students repeat the word • Then explain the meaning of the word with a student friendly definition • Provide examples in context not used in the story • Have children provide their own examples • Finally, have the students repeat the word again

  7. Activities that Encourage Children to Interact with Words • Questions, reasons, and examples • Making choices • Relating words • One context for all the words • Same format • Children create examples

  8. Maintaining Words • Applying previously learned words to new stories • Using words in reading and writing situations

  9. Questions • Do you feel that these methods will be effective? • Will one activity work better than another in a situation?
