A Strategy To Help Students to Predict Meanings
University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning 2014

University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning 2014
Words Encountered The average 5th grader encounters 10,000 new words in the school year University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning 2014

Words Learned per Year 3,000 University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning 2014

To stay at grade level students must:
Learn to recognize many thousands of new words by sight in order to maintain fluency Learn the meaning of thousands of new words University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning 2014

Many Students Have vocabulary deficits Have not acquired or invented strategies for learning vocabulary Need to learn the meaning of large numbers of words University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning 2014

Two Types of Vocabulary Strategies
Word-specific strategies- Students learn each word separately. Generative strategies-Students figure out the meaning of words. University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning 2014

How does a generative strategy work?
Students learn the meaning of high frequency prefixes, suffixes, and roots (Latin & Greek). They learn the meaning of roots with large word families. They apply these meanings when they encounter a new word. University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning 2014

Word Families Printed school English through 8th grade contains around 88,500 distinct word families Example: persecute, persecution, persecuter, persecuting University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning 2014

The Word Mapping Strategy
Is a generative vocabulary strategy that enables students to figure out the meaning of new words. University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning 2014

Purpose of instruction
2009 Purpose of instruction To teach students the meaning of prefixes, suffixes, & roots To teach students to use the Word Mapping Strategy to predict the meaning of new words To enable students to “play” with and become familiar with word patterns Michael Graves – play with words, word consciousness University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning 2014

Rationales Students encounter new words • In textbooks • On reading competency tests • They are expected to know or guess the meaning of these words • The strategy enables them to interact with words in an active way University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning 2014

Word Mapping Strategy Results
2009 Word Mapping Strategy Results Performance on Vocabulary Tests 5% Correct Meanings 16% Prediction Before Instruction 73% Correct Meanings 51% Prediction After Instruction 9th grade inclusive setting 51% prediction huge contribution for students who couldn’t predict especially on tests.

Define “suffix” Provide example suffixes Define “inflectional suffixes” Define “derivational suffixes” Explain the Suffix Guidelines Define compound suffixes Conduct practice University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning 2014

Suffix A morpheme that: • Is placed at the end of a word and • Affects the word’s form or meaning in some way recycl ing command er University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning 2014

Types of Suffixes Inflectional Suffixes Derivational Suffixes University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning 2014

Inflectional Suffix A morpheme that: • Is placed at the end of a word, and • Changes the form of the word • Its number, • Its point of view, • Its tense, or • Shows possession or • Shows comparison, but • Does not change the word’s meaning University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning 2014

Example Inflectional Suffixes
-s or -es: Signals for a plural word Dog Dog s Dish Dish es University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning 2014

Another Example Inflectional Suffix
-ed: The signal for past tense push - push ed create - creat ed University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning 2014

Inflectional Suffixes

Derivational Suffix A morpheme that: • Is placed at the end of a word, • Changes the meaning of the word, and • Sometimes changes the part of speech of the word. University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning 2014

Example Derivational Suffixes That Change the Part of Speech
Noun to verb: glory - glori fy Verb to noun: invent - inven tion Adjective to noun: slow - slow ness Adjective to verb: modern - modern ize Noun to adjective: recreation - recreation al Verb to adjective: drink - drink able University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning 2014

Example Derivational Suffixes That Do Not Change the Part of Speech

Example Tree with Example Words

Conduct the Paragraph Activity
Was having five dogs illegal? Shelly was afraid to ask anyone who worked for the city, so her question remained unanswered. She’d never intended on having more than her two cocker spaniels, Lucy and Rufus. However, a friend with a black labrador retriever hit hard times and had to move to a small apartment where pets were not allowed. A coworker found a stray poodle-mix puppy and could not keep it. The owners weren’t even looking for him! That broke Shelly’s heart. She felt as if he had been discarded, like trash. The last dog was a small spaniel who had been a companion to her mother, who had recently passed away. The dogs all got along well, but they created an unhealthy environment. She indirectly learned that only three dogs were allowed when the local news ran a story about a woman with 40 cats. The cats were discovered by paramedics, who were called by the woman, who had tripped over a cat, fallen, and dislocated her shoulder. University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning 2014
