Reading for Vocabulary

Vocabulary plays a fundamental role in the reading process and is critical to reading
comprehension. Children learn the meanings of most words indirectly, through everyday
experiences with oral and written language. Other words are learned through carefully designed
instruction.

Sure, a strong vocabulary can help reading comprehension, but active reading is also essential
to building vocabulary. By using the books you're teaching in class as a source of vocabulary
words, you can give your classes relevant words in authentic contexts and teach your students
to use context clues to figure out the meanings on their own.

Here is an example of story that we can use to improve our pupils’ vocabulary in a fun and
enjoyable way!

Play Max’s Words.

And that is all about Reading for Vocabulary, and always remember, “the more you read, the
more things you will know, the more that you learn, the more places you’ll go” Good bye!
