Overview

How do children learn vocabulary?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Incidental learning (Herman, Anderson, Reagor, & Nagy, 1987)
  • Context (Kuhn & Stahl, 1998)
  • Personalization (Blachowicz & Fisher, 2000)
  • Repeated Exposures (Stanley & Ginther, 1991)
  • Direct Instruction (McKeown & Beck, 2004)
  • Read-Alouds (Biemiller, 2004)
  • Structural Analysis (Edwards, Font, Baumann, & Boland, 2004)
  • NOT learning definitions as this is passive, ineffective, and anti-constructivist (Nagy & Scott, 2000)
