A Word Identification Strategy

A Word Identification Strategy

It has been viewed that "Question no 4" is related to Synonyms and Antonyms. Following Tips will let you know that how to identify word and how to be prepared from various resources. From time to time while reading you will see a word you cannot identify. It may be a word you think you know but cannot identify, or it may be a word that is new to you. When this happens, you should use a word identification strategy to identify and say the word. Here are the steps of a word identification strategy you can use. Each step tells one thing you should do when you come to a word you cannot identify. Continue to follow the steps until you have identified the word. 1. LOOK AGAIN at the word As you look at the word again, say each letter in the word. This will get you to look more carefully at the word. Often, when you look at a word a second or third time, you will identify the word as a word you know. 2. READ THE SENTENCE Containing the word to see if you can determine what the word means by how it is used in the sentence. Sometimes, knowing the meaning of a word will help you identify the word. 3. LOOK FOR A PREFIX at the beginning of the word. A prefix is a word part that is attached to the beginning of a word. Here are some examples of words with the prefix underlined: prepaid, unheard, rerun. 4. LOOK FOR A SUFFIX at the end of the word. A suffix is a word part that is attached to the end of a word. Here are some examples of words with the suffix underlined: lovely, tallest, spelling. 5. LOOK FOR THE STEM The stem is what remains after the removal of a prefix and/or suffix. If there is no prefix or suffix, then the whole word is the stem. Here are some examples of words with the stem underlined: prepaid, lovely, misspelling). 6. BLEND AND SAY THE WORD Blend together the prefix if there is one, the stem, and the suffix if there is one to say the entire word. For example: un+help+ful = unhelpful. 7. USE A DICTIONARY to help identify the word Look in the dictionary for the word and its phonetic respelling. The phonetic respelling shows the most common pronunciation of the word. Use the phonetic respelling to help you pronounce the word. Also, look at the definitions provided for the word. Select the definition that best fits the meaning of the word as used in the sentence. Knowing the pronunciation of the word and its meaning should allow you to identify the word. 8. ASK SOMEONE for help identifying the word If you have reached this step and still cannot identify the word, ask your teacher, parent, or another student to help you identify and say the word. Use this word identification strategy whenever needed in your reading. You cannot understand what you read unless you can identify most or all of the words.

By the help of these tips, You`ll be able to identify the word in examination. After then It`d be easy to answer the question.

VOCABULARY
Vocabulary, or the repertoire of words that an individual knows and uses to communicate, is key component of effective reading from the earliest stages and is central to comprehension. Students cannot understand what they are reading if they do not know what the words mean. Additionally, comprehension degrades proportionally to unknown vocabulary. Most words are learned through everyday language experiences. Interactions with adults are the best way for children to expand their vocabularies. Through sharing of events and books, adults provide knowledge and stimuli that children need. Once individuals are fluent readers, books and other types of written communication are optimal for expanding vocabulary and concepts. Despite the fact that most vocabulary is acquired indirectly, research suggests that vocabulary can be improved with explicit instruction. Direct instruction helps students to learn words that have not been mastered from life experiences. It can be provided through oral discussion that familiarizes students with vocabulary words, often offered before a story or text lesson is read. These introductory vocabulary lessons also aid comprehension. The discourse teaches the words and lays groundwork for the content that is to be covered. If students are to remember the words and make them part of their working vocabularies, they need repeated exposure and additional practice using the words over an extended period of time. Ambiguities of the English language make learning words a challenge. Multiple meanings, spellings, and pronunciations confuse students and hinder verbal or written communication. Direct vocabulary instruction develops awareness of synonyms, antonyms, homonyms, and heteronyms. Lessons or manipulatives can teach students both words and specific strategies. Structural features of words offer clues to meaning. Prefixes are added before root words to modify the meaning. Since prefixes carry meaning, being familiar with them can be valuable for vocabulary expansion. Suffixes are added to the end of words to change the part of speech. If students can identify the root word and determine the part of speech, often they can figure out what the word means. Root words also have meaning. Study of Latin root words and the many words that can be formed from them is a powerful strategy for analyzing word meaning and expanding vocabulary. Another technique that is worthwhile for advancing word concepts is classification, or the ability to categorize vocabulary words into classes. When using categories, students consider words in terms of their class membership rather than as separate entities. Students can be asked to sort words by categories or find words that do not belong. Word relationship analysis, such as analogies, is a type of classification skill. In addition to vocabulary improvement, studying classes and relationships builds reasoning skills.

Affixes & Roots The English language has been strongly influenced by other languages over the centuries, particularly by Latin and Greek. Understanding the structure of these two western classical languages affords many insights into the formation and meaning of English vocabulary words. Greek and Latin are inflecting languages in which words and usage are modified by the addition of prefixes and suffixes. Familiarity with prefix meaning, suffix usage, and the most common Latin roots can provide clues for figuring out tens of thousands of words.

Step 1 - Teach common prefixes and their meanings Prefixes are placed at the beginning of words to change meaning. Learning approximately 20 high-utility prefixes can significantly enhance ones ability to analyze word meaning. For example, the following

common prefixes all mean not or opposite: dis disappear, distraction, dismiss, dispute im immature, imperfect, improbable, impudent in inequity, ineffective, incredible, insecure, inaccessible ir irresponsible, irreverent, irregular, irresistible un unobstructed, unrealistic, unbeaten, uncivilized

Step 2 - Show how suffixes modify parts of speech Suffixes added to the end of words affect usage rather than meaning. Most commonly, suffixes denote verb tense, noun plurals, or adjective degree. Understanding these uses improves grammar, but does not build vocabulary. However, recognizing how suffixes are utilized to modify parts of speech can be a worthwhile meaning-analysis strategy. Identifying the usage might help a reader to get the gist of what is being said. The following show suffixes modifying parts of speech: -ant, -ent (verb to adjective) - observe to observant, differ to different, defy to defiant -ty (adjective to noun) - active to activity, safe to safety, cruel to cruelty -ion (verb to noun) - collect to collection, act to action, appreciate to appreciation

Step 3 - Study the most frequently used Latin roots Frequently occurring Latin roots and their variant forms are potent vocabulary builders. Just learning the top 25 would offer insight into innumerable English words. Some that are more straightforward, such as port or scribe, may be learned with little instruction. However, structured lessons would unlock many others. These words are examples of the Latin root mit, miss, which means to send or let go. The word meanings in parentheses couple both the root and prefix meanings. commit/commission (send together); transmit/transmission (send across); admit/admission (let go toward); remit/remission/remittance/remiss (send back); intermission/intermittent (let go between); emit/emission/emissary (send out of)

"Onym" Words The suffix -onym is derived from the Greek word for name. Words that end in -onym refer to a category of words. Often the class is based on relationships between word pairs, such as synonyms and antonyms. Other classes have spelling, sound, or meaning similarities or differences, such as homonyms or heteronyms. Knowledge of the following word types is necessary for vocabulary use and spelling accuracy.

Synonyms Of all these groups, synonyms are most significant for vocabulary improvement. Synonyms are words that have the same meanings. However, synonyms often have different connotations or tone, and considering these features leads to more accurate choices. Additionally, some words are quite overused (good tops the list), and students must strive to select alternate words. The built-in thesauruses in word processing programs are excellent tools for today's writers. Before students maximize this feature in their writing, they must be cognizant of word nuances and repetition. Manipulatives provide structured study of synonyms that make students think about synonyms as they write and train them to consider word choices.

Antonyms Antonyms, or words having opposite meanings, are useful for concept and vocabulary understanding, but they do not improve usage. For instance, if you say that superb is the opposite of poor, most students would comprehend the word meaning. But would it be preferable to say that superb is another word for outstanding? Focusing on synonyms is the superior strategy.

Homonyms Homo comes from the Greek word meaning one. Homonyms are two words having the same pronunciation but different meanings, origins, or spellings. Rather than bogging down with additional terminology, Reading Manipulatives uses this inclusive definition of homonym to refer to words that are pronounced the same but have either different spellings (to, too, two) or meanings (bat-device for hitting baseballs, bat-flying nocturnal animal).

Heteronyms Heteronyms are words that are spelled the same, but they differ in both meaning and pronunciation (reocord v, recoord n). Students figure out heteronyms on their own by using context. However, heteronyms can be used in creative ways to demonstrate the idiosyncrasies of English and test the writing skills of students.

Instructional Strategies & Materials Manipulatives are effective for improving vocabulary through synonym association and substitution. Manipulatives could also be used with antonyms, but antonym matching is not as worthwhile as either a vocabulary development or writing strategy.

Step 1 - Teach the characteristics of each category Before moving students into manipulatives or skills cards, be sure that they know what synonyms, antonyms, homonyms, or heteronyms are. Introduce these concepts one at a time and follow the lesson with some type of activity. Step 2 - Make sets of manipulatives and skills cards Comprehensive sets of manipulatives and skills cards assure that key vocabulary words are covered and that students have adequate practice to master skills. This proves to be far more beneficial than the random lessons that are generally used. These sets become part of the daily assignments. The initial time invested is returned as students repeatedly work on the materials and as they are reused with future classes.

Step 3 - Integrate and immerse Consider making the homonyms, synonyms, or antonyms part of some weekly spelling lists. Students tend to focus on their list words, and immersion helps students remember the concepts. Additionally, homonyms are spelling nemeses for many. For example, one extensive analysis of student-writing samples listed improper use of its and it's as the leading error. Teach word use at every opportunity. Research suggests that words are not mastered without repeated exposure, with four being the average that is necessary. Students may understand the characteristics of the word categories, but they will not retain individual vocabulary words unless they practice these words over time.

Analogies

Analogies require learners to use higher-level thinking strategies to associate two words that are not commonly linked and ascertain what relationship exists between the two words. Once the implied analogy pattern (synonyms, antonyms, homonyms, degree, part to whole, function, characteristic, etc.) is determined, the task is to create a similar relationship for the next pair of words. Analogies are used to develop and test vocabulary since students must know the meaning of the words in order to complete an analogy.

Step 1 - Teach what analogies are and the format they are written in Analogies are a type of word puzzle containing two pairs of words, both of which are based on the same type of relationship. The first pair of words is given, along with the first word of the second pair. Students must determine the relationship that exists between the first pair of words and then complete the second pair with a word following the same pattern. In solving an analogy, the first step is to read the given analogy in a sentence. In the case of the analogy shown (painter : brush : : barber : ________ / choices: shears or hair), it is read, painter is to brush as barber is to _________. Next, verbalize the relationship that exists between the first two words: A painter uses a brush. Extend that relationship to the next word: A barber uses _________. (worker to tool)

Step 2 - Study multiple analogies and determine types of word relationships The following examples show types of relationships and analogy form: synonyms (competent : capable : : believable : plausible ) antonyms (bold : shy : : risky : safe) homonyms (piece : peace : : seen : scene) action to object (pull : tugboat : : lift : crane) animal to animals sound (turkey : gobble : : owl : hoot) animal to group (lion : pride : : goose : gaggle) category to example (insect : mosquito : : amphibian : frog) example to category (human : omnivore : : moose : herbivore) degree (prick : impale : : call : scream) cause to effect (wound : blood : : fire : heat) locomotion to animal (slither : snake : : hop : kangaroo) fruit to dried variety (grape : raisin : : plum : prune) object to composition (credit card : plastic : : antennae : metal) vehicle/vessel to stopping agent (ship : anchor : : automobile : brakes) workplace to worker (garage : mechanic : : school : teacher) sport to scoring event (baseball : run : : football : touchdown) player to sport (quarterback : football : : goalie : soccer) slang to word (cop : policeman : : dough : money) An analogy must always have parallel structure. For instance, if the relationship is part to whole (mattress to bed), the second pair cannot be whole to part (sofa to cushion). It would have to be: mattress is to bed as cushion is to sofa.

Step 3 - Structure options to build vocabulary Since analogies are a method for developing or testing vocabulary, students are hindered when they are unfamiliar with words that are among the choices. For instance, in this analogy (lemonade : beverage : : torte is to _________ / choices: casserole or dessert), one must know the word torte to know that dessert, not casserole, is the correct choice. Vocabulary expansion is a goal, so students must look up words that they are unsure of.
