More than Teachable Moments: Enhancing Oral Vocabulary Instruction in Your Classroom
Neuman, Susan B.; Roskos, Kathleen
Reading Teacher, v66 n1 p63-67 Sep 2012
This article describes both the benefits and the challenges of using "teachable moments" as a primary strategy for oral vocabulary instruction. It argues that children will need more intentional oral vocabulary instruction, right from the very beginning, if they are to develop the academic and content-rich vocabulary necessary to be successful in the upper grades.
