Teach Students the Meanings of Specific Words
300-400 new word meanings can be taught per year through direct instruction. This is a significant proportion of the words that students who are at risk will learn. (Stahl & Shiel, 1999)
Select words to teach that are important for understanding text.
Words that students will encounter often, functionally important words.
Use both context and definitions
Find a synonym or antonym
Classify the word with other words
Relate the definition to one's own experiences
Give multiple exposures

Semantic Feature AnalysisSemantic Feature Analysis
This strategy effectively teaches vocabulary by activating prior knowledge and classifying new words by their features. A matrix is created with vocabulary words that have similarities on the left-hand side, and features of those words at the top of the matrix.
