  • Ten Vocabulary Moves Backed by Research with Blythe Anderson
    Mar 7 2025

    In Episode 219, Blythe Anderson discusses the importance of vocabulary instruction, specifically through the use of vocabulary talk moves.

    These "talk moves" are designed to promote word learning and help teachers effectively teach new vocabulary. Blythe covers various types of vocabulary moves, their research backing, and practical examples of how teachers can implement them in the classroom - emphasizing the complexity of vocabulary learning as well as the need for repeated exposure and active engagement to foster curiosity and understanding.

    Blythe explains effective teaching moves for vocabulary instruction, including the importance of context, repetition, and meaningful engagement with words. She outlines ten key strategies that educators can implement to enhance students' understanding and retention of vocabulary. The discussion also touches on the significance of selecting appropriate words for instruction and the role of affective and metacognitive factors in vocabulary learning. Blythe encourages educators to reflect on their current practices and gradually incorporate new strategies into their teaching.

Valuable resource!

Definitely listen to this if you "give a crud about kids learning to read," quote from Brett. I love the work the Our Dyslexic Children group is doing to improve literacy. This is the first time listening to this podcast and I will most certainly be back! Thank you doing this important work!
