Reading for Every Child: Vocabulary (Grade 5)

EBOOK: Reading for Every Child: Vocabulary (Grade 5)

Reading/language arts specialists agree that students need direct vocabulary instruction such as the lessons in Reading for Every Child: Vocabulary. Vocabulary teaching is essential because children cannot comprehend what they read unless they understand most of the words in their reading materials. Although students learn word meanings indirectly through conversation, reading, and even watching movies and television shows, direct instruction bolsters and enriches their understanding, making them stronger readers and fluent, confident speakers and writers. Students usually have little difficulty mastering new or semi-familiar words that name or describe well-known objects and concepts.

Word Banks in the first half of Reading for Every Child: Vocabulary consist of words like these (e.g., infant, nostrils, predator, and shaggy). Learning unfamiliar words for unknown objects and concepts presents the greatest challenge. That is why this book teaches such words in the last few lessons (examples are avalanche, barometer, legislative, and unwieldy).

The Word Banks in the book are eight words long. They are grouped by theme or word type. For example, one lesson explores homophone pairs such as capital/Capitol and bazaar/bizarre. A lesson called Help! teaches words such as aide, compassionate, donate, and soothe. Each lesson contains a majority of easier, more familiar words and two to three that present more of a challenge.
