The Key Vocabulary Routine

developed by Joan Sedita

www.keystoliteracy.com

What is The Key Vocabulary Routine?

• 5-step routine for embedding vocabulary instruction in content classroom teaching

• Used by all teachers throughout the school day with existing content reading material

• Foundational routine that provides consistency as students move from grade to grade and class to class

The Five Steps

1. Preview.

2. Use activities that connect related words.

3. Select specific words to teach in-depth.

4. Use word learning strategies (context, word parts).

5. Promote word consciousness.

Step 1Preview

• Activate prior knowledge

• Provide temporary, basic familiarity with words so students will not stumble over the words during reading

• Helpful to have students identify words for previewing

Student Example

Step 2Use Activities to Connect

Vocabulary • Four activities:

– Semantic Mapping– Categorizing– Semantic Feature Analysis– Scaling

• Make connections between words & background knowledge

• Offer opportunities for rich discussion about words

Semantic Mapping: Social Studies

Food Chain

producers

decomposers

consumers

fungus

eagleshark

compost

plants

fisherman

Semantic Mapping: Science

Semantic Feature Analysis

Scaling

Step 3Select Specific Words

to Teach In-Depth

• We need to teach some essential content words in-depth

• Models and suggestions for identifying these words

• How to teach everything about the word and provide multiple meaningful exposures
