Study Review [|Increasing Young Low-Income Children's Oral Vocabulary Repertoires through Rich and Focused Instruction] Summary This article describes our attempts to transform knowledge from classroom implementations into resources, which we call Accessibles, to support teachers' implementation of Questioning the Author (QtA), an instructional approach aimed at building students' understanding of what they read. We developed 25 Accessibles, which are brief, single-issue documents available for teachers to use on their own. Each Accessible presents examples of classroom interactions and explicates how those interactions exemplify QtA issues or solutions to issues. In this article we report the results of a field test to document the effects of the Accessibles. Six teachers implemented QtA in their classrooms in reading and social studies over 7 months. Transcripts of videotaped lessons, collected before the teachers began QtA, and QtA lesson transcripts were analyzed for patterns of classroom discourse interactions in terms of the kinds of questions asked, students' responses, and teachers' rejoinders to students. Results showed that use of the Accessibles changed classroom discourse from teacher dominated and focused on retrieving information to discourse shared by students and teacher and focused on building ideas from text. Interviews that probed teachers about their attitudes toward and use of the Accessibles indicated that the majority of the time teachers found the Accessibles useful. We also present teachers' comments about the Accessibles, which provide insight into aspects of the Accessibles that they found particularly helpful. Finally, we discuss themes underlying the Accessibles in terms of their potential for other approaches to teaching for understanding. ** Note: ** The following two links are not-applicable for text-based browsers or screen-reading software. 2.

[|Focusing Attention on Decoding for Children with Poor Reading Skills: Design and Preliminary Tests of the Word Building Intervention.] Examines the reading skills of children who have deficient decoding skills in the years following the first grade and traces their progress across 20 sessions of a decoding skills intervention called Word Building. Presents results in terms of the consequences of not fully engaging in alphabetic decoding during early reading experience, and the self-teaching role of alphabetic decoding for improving word identification, reading comprehension, and phonological awareness skills. 3.

[|Taking Delight in Words: Using Oral Language To Build Young Children's Vocabularies] Describes how pre-kindergarten through elementary teachers can enhance the vocabulary development of young children, focusing on teaching words from texts that are read aloud to children rather than read by children. Examines sequenced activities for teaching words to young children and activities that encourage children to interact with words, taking into account the kind of supports that young children need to make sense of those words.  4.

Provides examples of this reading-comprehension technique in geography and history. (PKP)

 * This articles’ abstract was about improving the vocabulary of low-income children. Teachers used different sub groups. They were assessed by being shown pictures and selecting the correct word. They also provided oral descriptions of the words and they were to choose what word was accurate. The group with more vocabulary instruction demonstrated the most gains. **
