Powerpoint Summary: “Kinds of Words: Tier 1, 2,
3”
This
powerpoint was a great review of what each tier is qualified of. I found the
key points about research to be very helpful, especially the 7th point.
That the most effective approaches to vocabulary development include: “active
learning, connections to previous knowledge concepts/words, and multiple
repetitions.” This type of learning is extremely beneficial for young students to
truly master new, challenging vocabulary.
I
also found the vocabulary rating scale to be a great tool for my students.
Having them determine their own understanding for a new vocabulary word would
be a huge help to me in determining where my students are in their
understanding of the meaning of a word. Lastly, I really appreciated the
vocabulary resources. I have heard of some of these books but not all of them.
It is always great to learn about a new reference to help teach your students
new means of vocabulary instruction.
