Q

T/F If ELL students with LI sound out basic sight words each time they encounter these words, reading comprehension and fluency will increase

A

False it will be slowed down greatly.

Professionals can drill these sight words with students until the students can read them quickly and automatically.

Q

Montgomery (2013): to truly “learn” vocab, TD students need how many encounters?

A

12

26
Q

How many exposures to a vocab word do LI need?

A

25 exposures

27
Q

When teaching vocab multiple exposures + ________ = success

A

active engagement

28
Q

research shows that students must grasp ____% of words in text to truly understand it

A

95% of words in text

29
Q

It is important for students of all ages to build their content knowledge/ conceptual foundation within ________

A

meaningful context

drill w/out context is usually ineffective

30
Q

What can we do to help children develop knowledge of classroom/ curriculum vocabulary?

A

We can ask teachers to provide us information about what vocabulary they are teaching in the classroom

students are getting classroom vocabulary and concepts reinforced

31
Q

New words need to be learned in context why?

A

Ideally, students should have concrete experiences when they learn new information

When low-SES children first learn new vocabulary, that vocabulary needs to be contextualized

32
Q

T/F When language is contextualized, ELL students with LI especially understand and comprehend much better

A

true

33
Q

If concrete experiences are not available what can we do?

A

Small objects next best (oriental trading, dollar store)

Pictures–3rd choice

Google Images is so helpful

Youtube sometimes has relevant videos; I always prescreen just in case!

34
Q

If students draw pictures of new words they are learning remember what?

A

Remember words much better

35
Q

Turnbull & Justice (2012) stated that

A

Research shows that merely exposing children to new words through reading is OK, but more is needed

36
Q

Students benefit from learning words “deeply” and retain the words better when we provide what?

A

We provide elaborated discussions about meaning of words in context

We prime words in discussion BEFORE reading a passage

Students actively practice using new words in sentences

37
Q

Turnbull and Justice (2012, p. 439) stated that Storybook reading without elaboration does not influence ch’s ability to define words, children need what?

A

CH need dialogic discussions with adults

38
Q

The research of Lovelace & Ryan (2009) showed that with culturally diverse young low-SES children, vocabulary instruction was most effective when ?

A

children used the words meaningfully in multiple contexts

The words were “learned deeply” through various games and activities where the words were repeated often

It was also helpful to connect new words to the children’s prior experiences

39
Q

To increase comprehension of vocabulary:

A

When reading, place each word in context of story

Define using student-friendly definitions

Provide examples beyond story context

Students provide examples beyond story context

40
Q

Biemiller said that we should choose words that give CH increase ________ ways to talk about what they already know

A

sophisticated

41
Q

T/F In order to implement the Common Core State Standards into intervention, many experts today agree that when working with students with LI, even if they are ELLs, it is optimal to focus on developing “Tier 1” vocabulary words.

A

false tier 2

42
Q

What are Tier 1 words?

A

Tier 1 words are the most basic, common words that many students pick up automatically from their environment (e.g. clock, happy, play). Tier 3 words are highly specialized, and the frequency of their use is low (peninsula, isotope, radiation)

43
Q

What are Tier 2 words?

A

High frequency words found across a variety of domains (e.g. fortunate, coincidence, similar)

44
Q

What is The Word Up Project?

A

The research team created word lists for grades 2-7 by compiling words from appropriate basal readers and novels, with an emphasis on Tier 2 words.

They then analyzed how often these vocabulary words appeared on state tests, and listed those as the ones to teach in The Word Up Project.

One can go to the website and print lists of words by grade level for use in intervention

45
Q

What is the vocabulary Teaching Hierarchy for ELL Students with LI?

A

Here is an example of a vocabulary hierarchy of IEP goals and objectives, beginning with

  1. receptive activities and progressing very gradually to 2. expressive activities and
  2. finally to written language.
46
Q

What is the Thematic Redundance Approach?

A

Integrate vocab, literacy, phonological awareness activities

47
Q

What is the Goal of thematic redundance ?

A

multiple exposures and active engagement

48
Q

Remember with ELLS with LI what comes first?

A

receptive language

49
Q

What is the annual goal of school items?

A

The student will demonstrate increased receptive and expressive vocabulary skills

=vocab target

50
Q

If students are old enough to read and write we can then work hierarchically through objectives

A

We can then work hierarchically through objectives 8, 9, and 10

For younger children who do not yet read or write, it is enough to work through objectives 1-7

51
Q

Some students struggle so much with writing—especially spelling–that in order to save time, Roseberry has them do what?

A

verbally tell me the sentence they want to write. I write the sentence on an erasable white board and they copy it. (We can also use smartboards)

In this way, they “cement” the vocabulary word even more firmly into their minds. They also get to practice writing words out correctly. In addition, they practice the important skill of sentence formulation.

52
Q

What is morphological awareness?

A

Morphological awareness: Recognition, understanding, and use of word parts that carry significance (Challenge= word parts: root words, prefixes, and suffixes)

53
Q

T/F Challenging for ELLs with LI—L1 morphology may be quite different than English

A

True

54
Q

what is a morpheme?

A

is the smallest unit of linguistic meaning

We have free and bound morphemes

55
Q

Increase ____ of English words morphologically complex

A

50%

56
Q

T/F Students with strong morphological awareness—approach novel multisyllabic word

A

True

break it into parts—predict word’s meaning

Helps: decoding, spelling comprehension, oral language

57
Q

The CCSS have a strong on building morphological awareness skills beginning when?

A

kindergarten.

58
Q

Because of this, we can implement simple, inexpensive activities to promote morphological awareness skills as part of overall programs to build _____ and _____ language skills in ELLs with LI

A

oral and literate language skills i

59
Q

what are some activities for Increasing Morphological Awareness?

A

Teach the terms affix, prefix, suffix, root word.

Explicitly teach students that affixes are extra parts that are “fixed on” to root words.

Affixes at the beginning of words are called prefixes because “pre” means “before;” suffixes come at the end of the word.

*Have students highlight the root word in words such as hopeful, carefully, sleepless, workable, unhelpful

Make affix and root word card decks. In one bag, put root words; in another bag, put prefixes and suffixes.

Provide each student with a sheet of paper. Have them select 5 root words and 5 suffixes.

Set a timer for 3 minutes, and have them create as many words as they can with their roots and suffixes. These words can then be put into sentences

60
Q

Ask students to bring in a classroom textbook (e.g., a language arts or social studies book) and write down…

A

10 “big words”

Highlight root words—yellow, prefixes—green, suffixes—blue

61
Q

With pragmatics Basically, there is a strong emphasis on effective….

A
Body language 
Eye contact 
Patience 
Continuing topic 
Listening to, understanding others 
Not interrupting
Main idea, supporting details
Remembering what heard 
Considering others’ ideasconsensus
62
Q

INCORPORATING CCSS INTO IEP GOALS can be used with an app… what’s it called?

A

“Common Core Library”
