Today, we'll revisit a conversation from 2020. Tanya Wright, author of A Teacher's Guide to Vocabulary Development Across the Day, is joined by Katie Wood Ray to talk about why it's important to take a deliberate approach to vocabulary instruction that spans throughout the day, and not just in isolated units.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As a writer of several books for teachers and parents, former kindergarten teacher, and current associate professor of language and literacy in the Department of Teacher Education at Michigan State University, Tanya S. Wright, Ph.D., has maintained focus on a singular question: How can we most effectively work with students in the early education setting? In answering that question, Wright has researched and written on two interesting areas: vocabulary development, and best practices for literacy development in young children. Listeners will come away from this conversation with some great tips and strategies for developing vocabulary, working effectively with younger students, and integrating writing and vocabulary.Show notes:Read: “A Teacher's Guide to Vocabulary Development Across the Day: The Classroom Essentials Series”Read: “Literacy Learning for Infants, Toddlers, and Preschoolers: Key Practices for Educators”More from Dr. Wright: Follow Tanya S. Wright on XQuotes:"We need kids to be able to sound out the words, but we also need them to know what they mean. Otherwise, the text won't make sense. So we really need to be working on both of these at the same time." —Tanya S. Wright"Really value what kids bring to the classroom, even if it's not perfect yet, or if it's not exactly what adults would say." —Tanya S. Wright"It's really important that we're thinking about purposeful, planned, and intentional vocabulary supports to make sure that everybody is included in the learning and can participate in the classroom." —Tanya S. Wright"Realistically, kids love to learn big words. They make use of them. They don't really differentiate it. So that's an adult imposition, right? Which ones are the big ones or which ones are the hard ones? If we use them with kids, they will use them too. And enjoy it." —Tanya S.

Today's guest is Dr. Tanya Wright whose research and writing focus on vocabulary and knowledge-building, and comprehension. She'll help us think about how to infuse vocabulary instruction into before, during, and after reading activities to move from passive word learning such as just parroting back a dictionary definition, to active processing where readers really engage with words to understand them more deeply. We'll talk about what research says about explicitly teaching word meanings, and what research has shown about effective strategy instruction for vocabulary development. Later, I'm joined by my colleague Macie Kerbs for a discussion of how we can bring this research to the classroom.**To learn more about this podcast, see the first season's guests, read full transcripts and blog responses from listeners, and read more about Jennifer Serravallo and her work, visit www.jenniferserravallo.com/podcastCheck out Dr. Wright's most recent professional book for teachers about vocabulary instruction here.** About this episode's guest: Tanya S.

In this episode, we (Mark Raffler and Sarah Shoemaker) connect with Michigan State University professor and author Dr. Tanya Wright. Dr. Wright is a former kindergarten teacher whose research and teaching focus on curriculum and instruction in language and literacy during the early childhood and elementary years. Her research examines instructional practices that promote oral language, vocabulary, and knowledge development for young children. This podcast is a conversation regarding her work in the area of vocabulary and references her 2021 publication - A Teacher's Guide to Vocabulary Development Across the Day: Grades K-3. In essence, this dialogue is about vocabulary instruction opening doors to learning for all students. Here is a quick brief of our conversation: Sarah starts the dialogue with Dr. Wright by asking “What does it mean to ‘truly know a word'?” Dr. Wright talks about ways in which we use words we know - to read, write, speak, listen, and learn. She explains some of the depth of word learning. Mark asks “What can we do to make word-learning stick?” Dr. Wright delves into how we learn new words with repeated exposure in meaningful contexts including ways to be effective and efficient with word learning. Then, we talk about “There are so many vocabulary words in our curriculum resources, how do we choose?” Mark asks the elusive "How do we assess vocabulary learning adequately?" question. Dr. Wright shares what truly captures vocabulary word learning and also shares some vocabulary resources for educators. Dr. Wright summarizes our conversation by noting that a key idea to remember is that vocabulary instruction should be embedded across the day and over time.
