USEFUL VOCABULARY INSTRUCTIONS IN TEACHING PROCESS.

Abstract

Studies have shown that reading comprehension and
vocabulary knowledge are strongly correlated, and researchers have found that word
knowledge in primary school can predict how well students will be able to
comprehend texts they read in high school. Limited vocabularies prevent students
from comprehending a text. Poor readers often read less, because reading is difficult
and frustrating for them . This means they don’t read enough to improve their
vocabularies, which could, in turn, help them comprehend more. This perpetuating
cycle can mean that as students continue through middle school and high school,
the gap between good and poor readers grows wider.
