Book The Impact of Direct Academic Vocabulary Instruction on Seventh Graders  Nonfiction Reading Comprehension

Download or read book The Impact of Direct Academic Vocabulary Instruction on Seventh Graders Nonfiction Reading Comprehension written by Mandy M. Sotillo and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many students lack the vocabulary necessary to become "insiders" of nonfiction reading. When they don't possess the word knowledge necessary to comprehend and interact with the text, nonfiction concepts are lost and the achievement gap grows. One way to strengthen students' background knowledge is to explicitly teach them academic vocabulary terms necessary to be successful readers of nonfiction text. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of direct academic vocabulary instruction on nonfiction reading comprehension. The nine-week treatment was centered upon Robert Marzano's (2004) six-step approach to teaching vocabulary. Four Literacy 7 classes received the treatment, and results were analyzed from 23 students in one randomly selected class period. Eight words from four content areas (literacy, language arts, science, and global studies) were selected. Students received direct academic vocabulary instruction and multiple opportunities to use, interact, and practice the words. Students were given three pretests, the first to assess their attitudes and prior knowledge of academic vocabulary, another to determine their level of understanding of the grade level academic vocabulary words, and the third to determine their level of reading comprehension when the academic vocabulary words were used in context. The treatment followed Robert Marzano's six-step approach and students kept vocabulary notebooks in their literacy binders. A new set of academic vocabulary words were introduced every two weeks, and multiple opportunities were given for revisiting and practicing the vocabulary words. Identical post tests were administered to measure growth, and results indicated an increase in students' nonfiction reading comprehension.

Book The Effects of Explicit Vocabulary Instruction on Comprehension of Expository Text in a Sixth Grade Social Studies Class

Download or read book The Effects of Explicit Vocabulary Instruction on Comprehension of Expository Text in a Sixth Grade Social Studies Class written by Christine Szukalla and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the effectiveness of using the Six Step Vocabulary Program developed by Marzano and Pickering (2004) to improve the comprehension of an expository text by sixth grade social studies students. Specifically, comprehension levels of a class of students were compared during two units of study, the Rome unit and the Middle Ages unit. During the Rome unit, students participated in Marzano and Pickering's Six Step Vocabulary Program. During the Middle Ages unit, no intervention was implemented. Comparisons of pre-test and post-test scores determined the comprehension levels attained by students during each of the units. They were all enrolled in the same social studies class in an intermediate school in a suburb of a large Wisconsin city. This strategy was most effective for students with high reading levels, but did not benefit all participating students.
