Abstract

This article explores the critical role of vocabulary in children's language development and reading comprehension. Traditional methods of vocabulary instruction, such as introducing a list of words for memorization and testing, are insufficient in fostering deep word knowledge. Instead, effective vocabulary instruction should emphasize both direct and indirect learning strategies. Drawing on Michael Graves' four-ply plan, the article highlights the importance of teaching individual words, word-learning strategies, and fostering word consciousness. Recent research shows that extended conversations with adults, including modeling rich language, asking open-ended prompts, and providing meaningful feedback, significantly enhance children's vocabulary acquisition.
