SCHOOL LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT CHAPTER 9

A child's vocabulary is related to reading comprehension and predicts reading comprehension abilities years later. True or false

True

What does lexical restructuring model imply?

children first learn words as wholes, but as they learn more their mental phonological representations become more fine-grained, and they start to isolate and manipulate phonemes in words.

What are root words?

free morphemes

The number/breadth of words that a child knows is the same as depth of vocabulary. True or False

False

hearing a single word multiple times will help establish a memory trace

Redundancy

hearing multiple words a few times will create a broad vocabulary

Variety

Children with language impairments will need more exposure to new vocabulary words and may require exposures to be simpler and be more scaffolded.

True

School-aged children learn root words in roughly the same order no matter the child's SES or vocabulary size. True or False

True

What 4 aspects should serve to guide vocabulary assessment?

knowing a word involves knowing its form, meaning and use

Poor performance on a static, norm-referenced test of vocabulary always indicates that the child is a poor word learner. True or False

False

Who are dynamic assessments especially valuable to?

bilingual children or children who do not come from a mainstream cultural background

Where can vocabulary interventions be beneficial for children?

one-on-one sessions

Match the tiers to their description: high frequency and commonly used in oral language

Tier 1

Match the tiers to their description: low frequency and apply to very specific domains

Tier 3

Match the tiers to their description: characteristics of literate language and more likely to be used across domains or subject areas

Tier 2

Which Tier of words should be targeted in direct intervention?

Tier 2

Once children are able to read at a third-grade level, they can learn new words while reading. True or false

True

What are the 3 approaches that can promote diverse and deep vocabulary meaning?

enhance opportunities for incidental learning

What is robust vocabulary instruction?

an approach to vocabulary development that emphasizes multiple and rich encounters in oral contexts to promote depth of semantic knowledge of words

Children's reflections on their own word knowledge is a very beneficial starting point for metalinguistic intervention.
