Description
While decoding and word recognition skills are necessary for literacy success, so are language comprehension skills. One of the six elements of structured literacy instruction is semantics, and a primary component of semantics is vocabulary knowledge. Because vocabulary is largely acquired through reading text, and students with dyslexia read text less often and well than their typical-reading peers, this component of structured literacy instruction is paramount. We will present best practices for teaching vocabulary to students with dyslexia.
