Kids have four different types of vocabulary listening vocabulary, speaking vocabulary, reading vocabulary, and writing vocabulary They can learn vocabulary indirectly and directly. Indirectly by oral language being spoken, people reading to them, and reading on their own. Directly by specific word instrution {teaching individuals words before reading},and word learning strategies {refrence aid, word parts,and written clues}.Students should be taught words that are important to what they are doing, useful words for understanding what's being read or spoken a lot and difficult words like words with multiple meanings. Students sould at least be acquainted with words they are using.Word learning include 4 differant kinds: learning a new meaning for a known word, learning the meaning for a new word representing a known concept, learning the meaning of a new word representing a unknown concept, and clearifying and enriching the meaning of a known word. This can help show new ways of understanding the words they read instead of just trying to find context clues in the sentance that explains the meaning or just telling the students.
