Challenges with Teaching Vocabulary
Teaching vocabulary can feel daunting. The struggles associated with vocab
practices in the classroom make it challenging for students to learn and teachers to,
well, teach. Teachers may have a hard time handpicking the 10-20 words every week
that their students will learn. Which words are the most important? What about the
students who learn and read at different levels?
From a student’s perspective, it becomes difficult (and, for many,
uninteresting) to simply memorize words and terms that they have no prior
connections to.
Vocabulary instruction doesn’t have to be boring! Here are five engaging ways
to teach your students vocab while making sure they boost their vocabulary
acquisition:
1. Create a Word Map
Word maps are graphic organizers based on the Frayer model that help students
learn new words by associating it with its antonyms, synonyms, writing their own
definition or using the word in their own sentence. Word map activities allows
students to think about vocabulary in several ways, and further make connections
with each word in relation to other words they already know.
Flocabulary’s new vocab cards are based on the Frayer model, and encourage
students to define new vocabulary words on their own terms through writing and
drawing.
2. Music for Memorization
Music has always been a great tool to help with memorization. Catchy beats
and hooks often make vocabulary retention and recall stickier for students. It allows
students to memorize at their own pace. Programs like Schoolhouse Rock and
Flocabulary take academic content and deliver it to students in an engaging and
memorable way. Our award-winning Word Up! vocabulary units provide students a
fun way to memorize vocabulary words.
