Lesson Overviews:
Vocabulary and
Comprehension
For this group to work in
kindergarten or first grade,
the teacher must do the
decoding. This is why we
use a read-aloud format.
In grades 2 and 3, the
children are expected
to read the selection,
with support.
In this example, you will role-play K or first-grade
students, and I will use a read-aloud format.
Let’s recap …
Begin with
this script.
Show or construct
web as you read
next script.
Remember to point to the diagram as you mention key
words in the script. You are building concept knowledge by
using words and pictures in tandem. You are also stressing
the interrelationships among word meanings.
Draw this empty web
as you talk. You’ll
return to it after the
read-aloud.
Now complete the web you started.
Remember that in a book like this one,
there are plenty of new words – an idea
psychologists call “concept density.” This
means that the same book can be
revisited at least once more to firm up the
children’s new word knowledge.
