Why Teach Vocabulary?
-
Vocabulary development is crucial for reading comprehension. If a student does not know the meaning of a word, their comprehension of the text will be impaired.
-
When students are able to decode words and comprehend their meanings, they are able to read with greater understanding and fluency.
-
Research has shown that explicit vocabulary instruction is effective in improving students’ reading comprehension and overall language skills.
-
Vocabulary is one of the strands of Scarborough’s Reading Rope, which looks at the elements that make a skilled reader.
