• brief written response• provide appropriate
structure for response
• sentence stems• target words to use• simple outline

+What We Know…
Must go beyond traditional methods (NRP, 2000; Stahl & Fairbanks, 1986, Marzano, 2004, etc.)
Students must be actively engaged with words (Marzano, 2004; Archer & Hughes, 2011; etc.)
Ownership requires multiple exposures immediately and over time 7 – 12 encounters for word ownership (Stahl, 1986) 10 encounters reliably predicted comprehension (McKeown et.
al., 1995) 15 meaningful exposures to own word (Biemiller; Nagy &
Anderson)

+General Academic Words
words found in academic discourse (text & speech) & labels for school tasks
relatively high frequency, wide distribution across disciplines

“Teaching words like these is
important.”
(Dr. Kevin Feldman)

+High Quality Classroom Language
Tell students the meaning of words when first used. “Don’t procrastinate on your project. Procrastinate
means to put off doing something.”
Pair in the meaning of the word by using parallel language. “What was the significance of this incident...this
event?” “We need to differentiate...tell the differences..
between external and internal character problems.”(Archer, A., “Dynamic Vocabulary Instruction in
Secondary Classrooms”, June 2012 presentation)
Use high quality vocabulary in the classroom AND ensure understanding.
