Vocabulary plays a fundamental role in the reading process and is critical to reading comprehension.
Vocabulary knowledge is important because it encompasses all the words we must know to access our background knowledge, express our ideas and communicate effectively, and learn about new concepts.
If students do not adequately and steadily grow their vocabulary knowledge, reading comprehension will be affected ( Chall & Jacobs, 2003).
In its analysis of the research on vocabulary instruction, the National Reading Panel (2000) found that there is no one best method for vocabulary instruction, and that vocabulary should be taught both directly and indirectly.
The FRAYER Model
The FRAYER Model The FRAYER MODEL is a graphic organizer that helps students determine or clarify the meaning of vocabulary words encountered while listening, reading, and viewing texts
This technique requires students to define target vocabulary and apply their knowledge by generating examples and non- examples, giving characteristics, and/ or drawing a picture to illustrate the meaning of the word. This information is placed on a chart that is divided into four sections to provide a visual representation for students. The FRAYER Model
This strategy stresses understanding words within the larger context of a reading selection by requiring students, first, to analyze the items (definition and characteristics) and, second, to synthesize/apply this information by thinking of examples and non-examples. The FRAYER Model
BEFORE READING to activate background knowledge The Frayer Model can be used: AFTER READING to assess vocabulary DURING READING to monitor vocabulary
develop understanding of key concepts and vocabulary The Frayer Model helps you draw on prior knowledge to make connections among concepts compare attributes and examples. think critically to find relationships between concepts and to develop deeper
understand word meanings The Frayer Model helps you make visual connections and personal associations review key vocabulary before a test or quiz create a “vocabulary wall” for quick reference of word meanings
Elements of Frayer Model DEFINITION FACTS/ CHARACTERISTICS EXAMPLES NON-EXAMPLES
Explain the Frayer model chart to the class by using a common word to demonstrate the various components. Model the type and quality of desired answers when giving the examples. Think out loud as you try to come up with examples and non examples, etc. Pictures/symbols can also be used. Step 1
Then review a pre-selected list of key concept words with the class before reading about the topic in the textbook. Read the text selection. Step 2
Choose a key concept or word from the topic read and have students help you complete the Frayer chart. Step 3
Pass out blank copies of the Frayer Model or have students create a chart in their copies. Step 4
Then students practice the strategy in pairs or in small groups with the key concepts and key vocabulary from the topic. (Each group could also be given different key concept words). Step 5
The groups share their completed charts with each other. Students can then add additional words/ images/symbols to the Frayer chart until all four categories are substantially represented. Step 6
Use this tool to quickly assess students for learning. Make copies of each Frayer graphic organizer so every student has a copy of all key concepts to use for review. OR display completed Frayer graphic organizers on a “Vocabulary Wall” for student reference. Use the Pic Collage app for iPad to allow students to create Frayer model graphic organizers using a tablet device (see http: //pic-collage.com). Use online templates to create models that give students a clear understanding of the concepts under discussion. Other ways for making the strategy use effective:
The Frayer Model Application across the curriculum
DEMOCRACY
CHEMICAL CHANGE
LINEAR EQUATION
ACTIVITY TIME!
Choose one MELC for each grade Level. Create an activity which makes use of the Frayer Model.
