Strategies on Building Vocabulary
Use lots of pictures and labels. The
use of visual reinforcement supports
comprehension and retention.

Teach definitional information When


you read definitions with students, be
sure they understand how to read
pronunciation keys, parts of speech,
etc.

Use repetition. Repeating words as


much as possible helps clarify
pronunciation and provides
opportunities to transfer words from
working memory to long-term memory.

helping them see how what they are learning
prepares them for life in the real world. 

Second – we must instill curiosity, which is


fundamental

Effective Classroom Strategies 24
