Vocabulary Instruction
I reviewed authoritative primary research articles on the effectiveness of vocabulary instruction to improve reading comprehension. Based on this research I designed a campus based initiative to improve vocabulary instruction.

I conducted the review of the literature in my course work at Texas Woman's University. I learned that teaching vocabulary through read alouds and having students actively process their new vocabulary showed the most improvement. Vocabulary instruction is just one component of a balanced literacy program. It is important, and needs to be explicitly taught, but should not replace other areas of literacy instruction.
