Initially children readily learn words from oral conversation because such conversations are context rich in ways that aid in vocabulary acquisition in discussions a small set of words (accompanied by gesture and intonation) is used with great frequency to talk about a narrow range of situations children are exposed to on a day-to-day basis
Vocabulary Acquisition
AR IN THE COMMON CORE ERA
bull Yet as children reach school age new words are introduced less frequently in conversation and consequently vocabulary acquisition eventually stagnates by grade 4 or 5 unless students acquire additional words from written context
bull Written language contains literally thousands of words more than are typically used in conversational language Yet writing lacks the interactivity and nonverbal context that make acquiring vocabulary through oral conversation relatively easy which means that purposeful and ongoing concentration on vocabulary is needed

Initially children readily learn words from oral conversation because such conversations are context rich in ways that aid in vocabulary acquisition in discussions a small set of words (accompanied by gesture and intonation) is used with great frequency to talk about a narrow range of situations children are exposed to on a day-to-day basis
Vocabulary Acquisition
AR IN THE COMMON CORE ERA
bull Yet as children reach school age new words are introduced less frequently in conversation and consequently vocabulary acquisition eventually stagnates by grade 4 or 5 unless students acquire additional words from written context
bull Written language contains literally thousands of words more than are typically used in conversational language Yet writing lacks the interactivity and nonverbal context that make acquiring vocabulary through oral conversation relatively easy which means that purposeful and ongoing concentration on vocabulary is needed

Initially children readily learn words from oral conversation because such conversations are context rich in ways that aid in vocabulary acquisition in discussions a small set of words (accompanied by gesture and intonation) is used with great frequency to talk about a narrow range of situations children are exposed to on a day-to-day basis
Vocabulary Acquisition
AR IN THE COMMON CORE ERA
bull Yet as children reach school age new words are introduced less frequently in conversation and consequently vocabulary acquisition eventually stagnates by grade 4 or 5 unless students acquire additional words from written context
bull Written language contains literally thousands of words more than are typically used in conversational language Yet writing lacks the interactivity and nonverbal context that make acquiring vocabulary through oral conversation relatively easy which means that purposeful and ongoing concentration on vocabulary is needed
