However, compiling a set of lists is not enough. Vocabulary must be implemented properly to be effective.  \nHere are some important points regarding the implemention of any Power Words list:  \n1) A Power Words list is just a starting point. It is the minimum vocabulary that students in each grade level should be familiar with. Individual teachers will still need to address content-specific and lesson-specific vocabulary.  \n2) A Power Words list is not a spelling list. Spelling is the act of forming words from a correct combination of letters. Vocabulary is about understanding the meaning of a given word. These are not only separate skills, but research suggests that they actually use different parts of the brain. To put it another way, students may or may not be able to correctly spell the words from the Power Words list ... but they should be able to give a reasonable description for each word that demonstrates a clear understanding of its meaning.  \n3) Many researchers (Marzano 2010, Shanahan 2013, etc.) strongly advise against a “give list/ give test” approach to vocabulary instruction. In order to achieve mastery, students must be given the opportunity to use vocabulary words in context. A Power Words list should only be implemented using research-based strategies such as Marzano’s Six Step Process for Teaching Academic Vocabulary.  \n4) Teachers are encouraged to expand Power Words lists with other types of vocabulary instruction. However, such expansion always should be “in addition to,” not “instead of.”Such efforts should never replace the Power Words list.  \nSOURCES  \nThe Power Words lists from the Jasper School District (Arkansas) are typical of lists you may encounter. These lists were compiled from two primary sources:  \nThe Kindergarten through 8th grade lists were based on the “Word Up” project (also known as“Flocabulary”) . Words were compiled from basal readers and grade-appropriate novels (with an emphasis on Tier 2 words), then analyzed for how often those words appear. Thus, words in the K-8th grade lists are not only the most common words in reading, but also the ones students are most likely to encounter in high-stakes testing.  \nThe 9th through 12th grade grade lists were based on lists compiled by [MajorTests.com](MajorTests.com) . These words are a compilation of several research-based lists. They also include words that frequently appear on the ACT, SAT, PSAT, and GRE tests. Thus, in addition to appearing on many advanced tests, these words are commonly found in adult-level reading.  \n© 2017 Bilmor Learning","cbCaif9gjF2Fl3E6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaif9gjF2Fl3E6","pdf",150132,"English","# Implementing a Power Words List\n## Power Words lists as a starting point\n## Not a spelling list\n## Using vocabulary in context\n## Expanding beyond the list\n# Sources","[{\"question\":\"What should Power Words lists be used for in classroom instruction?\",\"answer\":\"Power Words lists serve as a starting point for the minimum vocabulary students should understand at each grade level, and teachers still need to add content- and lesson-specific vocabulary.\"},{\"question\":\"How is Power Words different from a spelling list?\",\"answer\":\"Spelling focuses on forming words from correct letter combinations, while vocabulary focuses on understanding word meaning, and students should be able to describe meanings even if they cannot spell the words.\"},{\"question\":\"What approach is recommended to help students achieve mastery with Power Words?\",\"answer\":\"Researchers advise against a “give list/give test” approach; instead, students must use the words in context and instruction should follow research-based strategies such as Marzano’s Six Step Process.\"}]","Vocabulary and Power Words - Free Resources for Educators | PDF",1790588759]
