Twelve Effective Activities for Building Vocabulary Grades 6-12
Think about this the average kindergarten student arrives at school with an oral v0cabulary of 10,000 words, yet needs to master 50,000 to 60,000 word reading vocabulary by high school graduation (Graves 2006). How can we get them there? Research clearly shows that dictionary work is the least effective method of building long-term vocabulary. This cross-content workshop will allow you to explore new ways to teach vocabulary and experience engaging vocabulary
building activities. Materials will be provided for use in customizing two strategies for your classroom use. Bring your own class word lists and a laptop to turn Friday's instruction into Monday's vocabulary lesson. Resource materials will be provided and loaner laptops will be available.
