The link is to an article that further explains why this is beneficial. SATURATE BEFORE SOAK: EARLY LEARNERS CAN HANDLE BIG WORDS Researchers now believe that students in primary grades can acquire more advanced words earlier than previously thought, reports Laura Pappano in her article Small Kids, Big Words: Research- Based Strategies for Building Vocabulary from Pre- K to Grade 3 in Harvard Education Letter. It is now felt that the mechanism for learning new vocabulary isn't the same as that for learning new math skills, where easier concepts are the building blocks for more complicated skills. Words are not related hierarchically, said Isabel Beck of the University of Pittsburgh. You can learn saturated' before you learn soak'. What's more, children seem to enjoy it. More advanced words also enrich conceptual understanding and enhance reading ability as a student progresses. It's especially important in closing the achievement gap for students who arrive to early grades with a limited vocabulary, and for English Language Learners. http://www.edletter.org/insights/bigwords.shtml Joy/NC/4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] How children learn is as important as what they learn: process and content go hand in hand. http://www.responsiveclassroom.org ___ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.

Re: [MOSAIC] Big Words
I understand that knowing words and what words mean is really important to making meaning. My concern is over what I have seen happen with any of the work published by people like Isabel Beck. I don't doubt that it's true, and I am happy to know there is not a rote hierarchy that can be applied to learning words for example. But I still cringe every time I see such information. District administrators, consultants, building principals glom onto the information as the new answer for their kids scoring in the lowest quartiles. By the time the inservice reaches the classroom teachers the intent and the activities shared might not even match what the researchers intended. And, teachers often are more than comfortable to take on this new instruction (activities) because working with words can fill a lot of time...it's often easier, can be more fun, and I suspect might provide some data that would make pretty graphs. (Although I worry what assessment piece might tell me that a 6 year-old learned saturate before they learned soak.) And, when it isn't easier or made fun by teachers then it can be real torture for kids, and literally kill any potential motivation they once had to read. Of course we all expect the teachers who get that 1/2 inservice to also differentiate instruction, so the kids who already know what saturate means (or soak for that matter) won't have to learn again in whole group activities. I'd much rather the kindergarten teacher in my grandson's classroom read aloud Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs to teach him new words (if saturate or soak aren't in there, they should be, but I'll settle for the rest of the word choices anyway.) Didn't Mem Fox teach us about the power of read loud many years ago in Radical Reflections? I think we need to remind ourselves about that sometimes on a daily basis, and especially when we see new research. Because if it's good enough for my grandson, then that's what I want for all kids. P.S. glom was not a word in my spell-check, but it's a word from my childhood in central illinois...even though I don't think I've ever seen it in print, except when I use it. john d. mosaic@literacyworkshop.org wrote: This came through my email, and I thought it would be of interest to many on this list.

Re: [MOSAIC] Big Words
I hear your frustration. I heard Beck speak at a conference and she did talk about this. Yet there is so much else that she says in conferences and in her book Bringing Words to Life that isolating this particular notion really wrenches the entirely of her work out of context. Can kids learn more sophisticated vocabulary earlier in their lives? Yes. Perhaps the larger point is something she deals with in her book and that it is knowing what words to teach. Marzano in his book Building Background Knowledge and its companion teacher manual, works well together with Bringing Words to Life.

Re: [MOSAIC] (Mosaic) Book review
My mailbox is filled with people asking how to be involved. We will post a link to the application form next week (mentioned twice in my earlier post). The purpose of sending out the notice was for interested people to check out the available books ahead of time. I also wanted to alert everyone that I would send out the URL for the application form later next week. The application page (available later next week) will also include notice of a selection process. We have about 60 people apply last time, but could only select a total of 8 reviewers. So look for the URL for applying next week. We'll keep the application page open for about a week and also remind the group before we close the form.
