Teaching Reading Vocabulary

From the Paper:

"This paper will compare and contrast three approaches to teaching reading vocabulary: the language-experience; the basal; and the individualized.
The Language-Experience Approach
In the language-experience approach the child's own language and his environment form the basis of the reading materials and the words to be taught (Jewell & Zintz, 1980). Typically, the teaching procedures in the language experience approach include a written record, which is planned cooperatively by the pupils and the teachers. This plan is kept on a chart known as the experience chart. For example, a record of an experience that the class might have had when finding leaves on a walk they took might read as follows: We went on a walk; we found some pretty leaves; some were red; some were brown; we found yellow leaves."
