American Educator, v27 n1 p36-39,41,45-46 Spr 2003
Describes how pre-kindergarten through elementary teachers can enhance the vocabulary development of young children, focusing on teaching words from texts that are read aloud to children rather than read by children. Examines sequenced activities for teaching words to young children and activities that encourage children to interact with words, taking into account the kind of supports that young children need to make sense of those words.
