Teaching Vocabulary

First of all, vocabulary is the glue that hold stories, ideas, and content together, making comprehension accesible for children.

When we teach vocabulary we have to take into account:

1. Keep teaching simple and clear. No complicated explanations.

2.Related the present teaching to past knoledge by showing a pattern.

3.Use both oral and written presentation, write it on the board and explaining.

4.Give most attention to words that are already partly known.

5.Tell the students if it is high frequency word that they should remember.

6.Do not bring n other onknow or little now related words.

Why is it important to teach vocabulary? a reader's vocabulary for a topic is the build blocks they will use to build further knowledge in the area

Vocabulary teaching directly improves their ability to read words, improves their ability to understand what they are reading, also helps them use what they know about some words and understand other words.

Learners should be exposed to vocabulary s repeatelly in rich contexts. We can not expect them to learn the items we teach and to remember all in the lesson to days later. Thus, a newly taught word should reapear many times and in different situations for the following weeks instruction. The vocabulary items should be revisited or recycled in different activities, with different skills and for the ple times.
