Vocabulary

Dictionary.com defines vocabulary as “a list or collection of the words or phrases of a language, technical field, etc., usually arranged in alphabetical order and defined.”  Acquiring vocabulary occurs over a lifetime.  It begins when we’re born and continues as we get older.  Infants and small children learn all of their vocabulary from interactions with adults and other children in their lives.  As we get older and attend school our vocabulary expands through the formal education process. 


Understanding Vocabulary Words

Building a broad vocabulary is critical for reading, learning and communicating.  Without a shared vocabulary, it’s not possible to learn in school, read or interact with other people.  When children start attending school, vocabulary becomes a part of their studies.  There are many ways schools include vocabulary lessons in the curriculum, including:
  • Word wall.  Teachers create a bulletin board in their classroom where they post words students don’t know and teach them the meaning of the words throughout the year.
  • Vocabulary lists.  Students are often assigned a list of words to learn through rote memorization.  This becomes more prevalent as students get older and are preparing for standardized exams.
  • Study the word itself.  Students learn to identify parts of the word such as the prefix or suffix and use the meaning of the different parts of the word to determine the meaning of the entire word.
  • Context.  Reading new words in a book, short story or other written work is a great way for students to learn vocabulary.  Students use context clues to figure out the meaning of the word by themselves.


Learn How to Improve Vocabulary

Like learning any new skill, improving vocabulary works best when you use multiple techniques to expose yourself to new words and increase your vocabulary.  Some examples of ways to broaden your vocabulary include:
  • Flashcards.  With flash cards, the vocabulary word is printed on one side and the meaning of the word is printed on the other.  Flashcards can help you memorize new vocabulary words.
  • Lists.  Creating a vocabulary list can help you learn unfamiliar words.  Every time you come across a word you don’t know the meaning of in your everyday life, write it down.  Then look up the meaning of the word and write it down as well. Use the list to familiarize yourself with new words.
  • Reading.  Reading as much as you can is one of the best ways to improve vocabulary.  Exposing yourself to different types and styles of writing will expose you to a variety of different words.  Reading these words in the appropriate context can help you determine the meaning without having to consult a dictionary.
  • Word games.  Completing crossword puzzles, playing scrabble and amusing yourself with other word games is a fun way to learn the meanings of new words.
  • Vocabulary tutor.  If you need to expand your vocabulary quickly for a specific purpose, a tutor can provide a customized lesson plan to meet your needs.
