PIKULSKI AND SHANE TEMPLETON  \n“Words, so innocent and powerless as they are, standing in a dictionary; how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to choose and combine them.”  \n—Nathaniel Hawthorne  \nThe Central Importance of Vocabulary  \nIt seems almost impossible to overstate the power of words; they literally have changed and will continue to change the course of world history. Perhaps the greatest tools we can give students for succeeding, not only in their education but more generally in life, is a large, rich vocabulary and the skills for using those words. Our ability to function in today’s complex social and economic worlds is mightily affected by our language skills and word knowledge.  \nIn addition to the vital importance of vocabulary for success in life, a large vocabulary is more specifically predictive and reflective of high levels of reading achievement. TheReport of the National Reading Panel (2000), for example, concluded,“The importance of vocabulary knowledge has long been recognized in the development of reading skills. As early as 1924, researchers noted that growth in reading power relies on continuous growth in word knowledge”(pp. 4–15).  \nVocabulary or Vocabularies?  \nIn everyday conversation we speak of vocabulary in the singular; we speak of a person’s vocabulary.  \nThis is actually an oversimplification. The American Heritage Dictionary defines vocabulary as “the sum of words used by, understood by, or atthe command ofa particular person or group.” In this paper we are concerned with extending the sum of words that are used by and understood by students.  \nHowever, it seems important to point out that in almost all cases there are some differences in the number of words that an individual understandsand uses. Even the terms “uses” and “understands”need clarification. For example, the major way in which we “use” vocabulary is when we speak and write; the term expressive vocabulary is used to refer to both since these are the vocabularies we use to express ourselves. We “understand” vocabulary when we listen to speech and when we read; the term receptive vocabulary is used to refer to listening and reading vocabularies. Finally, to round out the terminology, meaning or oral vocabulary refers to the combination of listening and speaking vocabularies, and literate vocabulary refers to the combination of our reading and writing vocabularies. Are our listening, speaking, reading, and writing vocabularies all the same? Are they equally large? Is our meaning vocabulary larger or smaller than  \nVocabularies  \nFigure 1  \nour literate vocabularies? Figure 1 shows the relationship of the eight different terms.  \nFor the first five years or so of their lives, children are involved in the process of acquiring a meaning/oral vocabulary—words that they understand when they hear them and that they can use in their speech. During this period, children have essentially no literate vocabularies. Most children acquire reading and writing skills upon entering school. They need to acquire a basic knowledge of how printed letters relate to the sounds of spoken words and how printed words relate to spoken words. Being able to translate or transcode print into speech allows children to use what they know about meaning/oral vocabulary for their literate vocabulary. So for very young children, their meaning vocabularies are much larger than their literate vocabularies.  \nThe acquisition of decoding skills leads to rapid expansion of literate vocabularies by allowing children to transcode their meaning vocabularies into their literate vocabularies. This is so much the case that for older students and for adults our literate vocabularies are probably larger than our  \nmeaning vocabularies. We tend to have a larger group of words that we use in reading and writ","cbCaiebuuqiClEh1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiebuuqiClEh1","pdf",174135,12,"English","# The Central Importance of Vocabulary\n# Vocabulary or Vocabularies?\n# Reading Vocabulary\n## High-frequency vocabulary","[{\"question\":\"Why is vocabulary knowledge important for long-term reading success?\",\"answer\":\"Vocabulary knowledge strongly predicts and reflects reading achievement, and a large, rich vocabulary supports students’ ability to function in complex educational and social contexts.
