[MOSAIC] Big Words

This came through my email, and I thought it would be of interest to many on 
this list. I remember many suggesting Isabel Beck for vocabulary instruction. 
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.

Re: [MOSAIC] Big Words

2008-05-31 Thread jdelich
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.

Re: [MOSAIC] Big Words

2008-05-31 Thread Robins Maureen (25Q194)
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

2008-05-31 Thread Keith Mack
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.

Thanks,
