Most students acquire vocabulary incidentally through indirect exposure to words at home and at school – by listening and talking, by listening to books read aloud to them, and by reading widely on their own. It has been proven that reading is important to long-term vocabulary development and that extensive reading provides students with repeated or multiple exposures to words. Thus, reading provides a means by which students see vocabulary in rich contexts. To that end, Vocabulary Expansion II employs a text in combination with a web platform to engage students in actively thinking about word meanings, the relationships among words, and how words can be used in different situations. Different methods will be used to help stu-dents extend and master vocabulary: defining words in context, using context clues, word sketching, analyzing word parts, semantic mapping, and creating word consciousness. Stu-dents are will also create word logs and writing assignments based on the target vocabulary.
