Abstract :
Vocabulary learning is critical to reading comprehension, it is important that those working with young readers help further encourage the development of a large word bank and effective vocabulary learning methods. There are several effective planned instruction and implied strategies that adults and children can employ with readers of any age. One of the most effective methods of helping students learn new vocabulary words is to teach unfamiliar words used in a text prior to the reading experience. Students should see first reading materials to determine which words are unfamiliar. Then these words should be defined and discussed. It is important for the adult to not only tell the students what the word means, but also to discuss its meaning. This allows the students to develop an understanding of the word’s connotations as well as its denotation. Also, discussion provides the adult with feedback about how well the students understand the word. It can be stated that the frequent your exposure to the words the more you can master the meaning of the words. However, repeated exposure to new vocabulary words is often ignored. Giving higher opportunities for the students to the target vocabulary the more they could master the vocabulary. Sometimes student needs to repeat the word several times in order for the students to remember.
