The Responsive Education for All Children (REACh) When students do not understand an author's vocabulary, they cannot fully understand the text. Good vocabulary instruction emphasizes useful words (words that students see frequently), important words (key words that help students understand the text), and difficult words (idiomatic words, words with more than one meaning, etc.). In providing vocabulary instruction teachers can help students by: * Activating their prior knowledge * Defining words in multiple contexts * Helping them see context clues * Helping them understand the structure of words, e.g., prefixes, roots, and suffixes * Teaching them how to use a dictionary and showing them the range of information it provides * Encouraging deep processing. Students need to integrate new words into their working vocabularies. * Giving them multiple exposures * Focusing on a small number of important words. Ideally, the words should be related so that the depth of concept development can be increased.
