Education Vocabulary Prescool Four preschool classrooms located in African American neighborhoods in Cincinnati, Ohio were the setting for a study of strategies to enhance vocabulary learning. Targetvocabulary was chosen from theme-related storybooks. Strategies to promote instructional conversations included linking vocabulary to specific materials in various learning centers and using vocabulary during classroom routines like family-style meals. Both children and adults in the classrooms where the conversational strategies were implemented showed gains in target vocabulary knowledge and use up to 2 months after the instruction. The literature review and teacher responses to the in-classroom aspect of the study lead to the conclusion that work should continue to develop strategies to increase vocabulary learning that may be easily implemented in all early childhood settings. 2007 English text Wittenberg University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=witt1203601206 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=witt1203601206 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
