Vocabulary and Language Learning

Indirect vocabulary and language learning: Students learn most language and vocabulary through conversations with family and teachers, and through being read to and reading on their own. Today, too many families are stretched for time and resource, many students come to school with a large language and vocabulary gap. TEACHERS are the only hope for many students today.
"Children are made readers on the laps of their parents." — Emilie Buchwald
Learning Language Vocabulary Indirectly: Children learn the
meaning of most words indirectly, through everyday experiences with oral and written language--e.g., through rich conversations with adults, through being read to, and through reading extensively on their own. Students learn language by listening and making connections with auditory memory. Struggling readers need those audio learning cues even more and fall far behind their peers in overall language development. Struggling students sitting silently with a book will get very little out of the experience without the auditory component. READING ALOUD daily and participating in rich conversations is critical for ALL at-risk students to develop academic language.

Students should always have the ability to listen to a model reading.  Listing labs, audio books, podcast, and buddy buzzing are all part of language classroom. When I read, the students read along in their own book, or listening to an audiobook, students always have the text in front of them.
