Enriched Vocabulary for Reading Power

  • Enrich vocabulary by employing cognitive-strengthening tasks such as precision, accuracy, correct labels, exact relationships, key word selection, and word context
  • Incorporate fluency activities in a balanced reading classroom to enhance middle grade students’ cognitive-rich vocabulary for discerning causal, temporal and spatial relations
  • Utilize mediation techniques that enable students to compare, infer, test hypotheses, predict, and assess their understanding of word meaning
  • Elicit students’ intrinsic motivation to read independently and build their own vocabulary banks as critical readers
  • Design authentic lesson plans which incorporate appropriate cognitive development, learning styles, and best practice literacy approaches to the acquisition of vocabulary
  • Evaluate expansions of students’ working vocabulary
