  1. K-3 Vocabulary Development Presented by: The Literacy Team

  2. Overview: What are Tier I, Tier II, and Tier III Words?

  3. Different Types of Words: • Tier I Words: Everyday, basic words your child already knows and uses (i.e. big). • Tier II Words: “Fancy” words that are more sophisticated. These words can often be more of a challenge for your child (i.e. enormous). • Tier III Words: Content-specific words (temperature).

  4. Strategy 1: Read Alouds . For each book, highlighting tape is utilized to focus on selected vocabulary words. These words are then discussed and explained in detail.

  5. Partner Reading These students are re-reading the read aloud books with a partner practicing new vocabulary words.

  6. Strategy #2 Vocabulary Cards Tier II Words: Students write the tier II (“fancy”) word on one side of the index card and it’s “everyday” meaning on the back of the index card. (i.e. “big” on one side, “enormous” on the other side) Pictures can be used for further support. Tier III Words: Students write vocabulary words on index cards. On additional index cards, the students draw pictures to illustrate the meaning of the words (i.e. on one index card the word “thermometer" is written.) On a second index card the picture of a thermometer is drawn. These cards can be used for a matching game.

  7. Vocabulary Cards • These are the index cards the students created for their new vocabulary words.

  8. Strategy #3: Sentence WritingStudents write sentences using their newly acquired words to demonstrate understanding of their meaning.

  9. Sentence Writing in Action The student is writing sentences using the new vocabulary words

  10. Strategy # 4: Instructional Charts • This is an example of one of the teacher-created instructional charts. • The students are practicing reading the “fancy” words with their “everyday” meanings.

  11. Strategy #5: Sentence Frame Activity A sentence is typed and displayed using the Smartboard. In each of the sentences, one of the "fancy" words will be missing. The target words will be placed into a word box. Students will come up to the Smartboard, and drag the appropriate vocabulary word into the blank spaces.

  12. Smart Board Sentence Frame Activity • The children are reading the sentences that are missing the target vocabulary words. • The students have a chance to come up to click the correct word that fills in the blank.

  13. What Can You Do At Home? • 1. Read with your child every night! • 2. Make vocabulary cards for daily practice (flashcards, memory game, etc.). • 3. Practice using new words in sentences (orally, written or both). • 4. Have Fun! 
