Large Vocabulary Knowledge Assists Learning

 

Having a large vocabulary to use and recognize is an asset for school learning.

Some students start school disadvantaged and remain disadvantaged because of vocabulary knowledge.

 

Reading aloud in all grade levels, telling stories, listening to music teaches new vocabulary and immerses students in conversations to help them understand and describe ideas.

Books brought by a bookmobile to the migrant camp opened a child to life's possibilities

 

Did a bookmobile come to your neighborhood in the summer? If you were a kid without books and transportation living on a reservation, in a rural setting, in an inner-city neighborhood without a library, in foster care, or in prison, what might a bookmobile do for you?

 

 

Second Virtual Workshop

 

USING KID-FRIENDLY LANGUAGE

 

 

Opener:

  • How many pages have you read this past week for your University classes?
  • What is the most challenging reading that you have had to do?
  • Why is that material challenging to you and what strategies do you use to overcome those challenges?


Recalling the Reading Comprehension Video from FAT City just watched, reading is making meaning from text, but when readers lack context, they struggle to make meaning from what they are reading.

Wordless books offer a unique creative reading experience that requires “reader” participation. Informed by their life experiences, young readers observe and interpret the illustrations to create their own stories. These narratives have the flexibility to change with every reading because we are reading pictures, not words. The stories can be told as a descriptive account or from the point of view of different characters.

 

Wordless books reflect the creativity and imagination of the readers who translate their stories. Multiple readers can also take turns adding narration, voices, or sound effects to each page. 

 

FOSSIL can be read as a description of the illustrations, or told from the viewpoint of either the boy or the dog. Or for even more challenging narrative possibilities, the story can be told from the perspective of secondary characters like the dragonfly, pteranodon, or fossils themselves. 

 

Wordless books invite the creativity and imagination of the readers.

Different readers create their own narration, voices, or sound effects to each page. 

Readers write dialogue--the talk of the characters-- and description--words talking about what is happening on the page.
