What specific teaching strategies or techniques for reading instruction can be used to increase reading vocabulary achievement?
Beginning readers’ reading vocabulary may be increased using an approach that combines listening comprehension instruction in a content area, high-interest texts generated from listening comprehension exercises, and phonics and multi-sensory skills work using the same content-oriented texts. (Gold & Horn, 1982, and Gold & Johnson, 1982) Experimental results from one study of a specific teaching strategy (reported in Gold and Horn, 1982, and Gold and Johnson, 1982) suggest that an approach that combines listening comprehension with the use of student-generated texts increases reading vocabulary, but not overall language ability (as measured by a test of oral vocabulary knowledge). This program focused on listening comprehension and used student-generated texts for word analysis and reading comprehension instruction. Improved decoding from the word analysis instruction might account for improved performance on the reading vocabulary measure if it enabled these beginning adult readers to
