What is my sources of research.

"Vocabulary interventions are favored over more traditional vocabulary instruction that included activities such as looking up words in" this
What is dictionary.
100
"Vocabulary must be taught directly and sequentially." This many new word meanings can be taught a year through explicit instruction.
What is 300-400

The best place to begin is where we are. We should teach the programs given to us with _______________.
What is fidelity!

"Vocabulary development requires different levels of word knowledge and comprehension. Beck and McKeown (1991) note: knowing a word is not an all-or-nothing proposition; it is not the case that one either knows a word or does not know a word. When is a word truly known by a student" Is it when they can read the word, match it to multiple definitions, or when they do this with the new word in their environment.
What is generalize. (tote example)

"There is evidence that many children with reading disabilities have lower-than-average vocabularies. This is due both to the effects of language problems (e.g., Gathercole, Hitch, Service, & Martin,1997; Scarborough, 2001), and limited exposure to ______, particularly that of older children."
What is print.

"There is a growing body of data indicating that variation in _________ knowledge is a causal determinant of differences in reading comprehension ability (Beck, Perfetti, & McKeown, 1982; McKeown, Beck, Omanson, & Perfetti, 1983; Stahl, 1983). It seems probable that like phonological awareness, vocabulary knowledge is involved in a reciprocal relationship with reading ability, but that-unlike the case of phonological awareness - the relationship is one that continues throughout reading development and remains in force for even the most fluent adult readers."
What is vocabulary.
200
This type of instruction for vocabulary should include the use of a word's context, and definition, --and opportunities for deep processing--such as finding a synonym or antonym, making up a novel sentence with the word, classifying the word with other words, and relating the definition to one's own experience.
What is explicit instruction.

DOUBLE JEOPARDY
What is a free treat!

Students with disabilities are less likely to _________ for help when they do not know the meaning of a word.
What is ask.

"There is substantial evidence that vocabulary and comprehension are influenced by both variations in home language support and school ___________"
What is instruction.
300
"Reviewing 19 different vocabulary studies, found that this type of outcome can be achieved with a relatively short duration of vocabulary instruction. Effective outcomes of interventions ranged from only 60 minutes per week all the way up to 150 minutes per week."
What is effective outcomes.
300
"Struggling readers and students with disabilities have particular difficulty using a ________. The process is slow and labored and often making the time it takes to look up a word not worth the effort. These students tend to have a poor sense of the order of the letters of the alphabet and they have difficulty skimming down a list of words that are visually similar. Once they locate the word, they tend to be overwhelmed with amount of information and the reading level of the entry. "
What is a dictionary

Multiple measures are being used to classify students with _____________.
What is a Specific Learning Disability
300
Providing multiple ____________ to new vocabulary words promotes deeper understanding.
What is repetitions, exposures (file folders)

"Summarizing results from 41 studies of the impact of vocabulary instruction on ________, Stahl and Fairbanks (1986) reported an average effect size of .91—an effect size which would theoretically raise the comprehension of an average child from the 50th percentile to the 83rd percentile."
What is comprehension.
400
"By grade three, the gap in reading skills becomes too _______ for many children to “catch up.” We cannot leave vocabulary acquisition to incidental factors such as oral language, chance, and TV. Some children doubtless require more assistance and direct instruction in learning new words than other children do"
What is large.
400
"Overall differences in the amount of independent reading, lack of strategies to learn words from context and the ability to connect to the text appear to be the most critical obstacles to vocabulary development for students with disabilities. Struggling readers should be encouraged to do this."
What is read!!

With the advancements in this, opportunities for developing connections are increased.
What is technology.

We cannot assume that our students with learning disabilities have the _________ to independently develop the meaning of words in context.
What are strategies (paragraph example)
