Re: [MOSAIC] Big Words
Joy awesome article thanks for sharing and I will pass it along at the local level in my district. I teach 6th grade and I am looking at doing more with vocabulary next year and have been looking for sources and ideas etc. This article looks as though it has lots of good links which I will explore. Love it thanks Susan On Sat, May 31, 2008 at 7:57 AM, Joy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 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. 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] test marking
How about a separate two-column sheet to take notes? Our third graders in Maryland have not been allowed to write in their books but are allowed scratch paper which is then collected and shredded after the test. I have showed kids how to record their thinking and their reactions to it and it seems to help. Jennifer In a message dated 6/1/2008 4:27:30 P.M.

Re: [MOSAIC] test marking
Well, perhaps you'd all enjoy the standardized test our kids take, MAPS tests from NWEA. They're totally linear, taken from grades 2-12, and are all computerized. Their format neutralizes any kind of test taking strategy instruction I can think of. in Texas the TAKS test deliberately provides margin space for kids to jot notes, and we provide highliters to encourage the use of strategies we've taught.
