Page 53: Learning Words Inside and Out: Vocabulary Instruction Grades 1-6 Frey, N., & Fisher, D. (2009). Learning words inside and out: Vocabulary instruction that.

Use gateway affixes to increase access to unfamiliar vocabulary

Cunningham, 2002

Re-, dis-, un-, in-/im- account for 50% of all the prefixed words readers will ever see

-s, -es, -ed, and -ing account for 65% of all suffixed words

Words of the Week

• Five words a week (Port: to, out )– airport, transport, portable, port, report

• Grouped by affix or derivation• Grade levels propose words• Goal is to build vocabulary and teach

patterns for unfamiliar words• Consider creating separate K-2 and 3-6

lists.• Primary lists can draw from Dolch and

Ogden Basic English word lists

Page 55: Learning Words Inside and Out: Vocabulary Instruction Grades 1-6 Frey, N., & Fisher, D. (2009). Learning words inside and out: Vocabulary instruction that.

Ideas for Extending WOW Efforts

• Post the words on classroom word walls

• Extra credit for using WOW words in writing

• Post words each week on school website and in newsletter

• Use words in games (Bingo, Password, Concentration)

Page 56: Learning Words Inside and Out: Vocabulary Instruction Grades 1-6 Frey, N., & Fisher, D. (2009). Learning words inside and out: Vocabulary instruction that.

Incidental Learning Through Wide Reading

• Cumulative effect of reading: 60 minutes per day x 5 days a week= 2,250,000 words per year

• 2,250 words learned per year this way (Mason, Stahl, Au, & Herman, 2003)

A bargain, considering that only 300-500 words can be directly taught

each year
