Things Not to Do in Teaching Vocabulary

Give students words out of context and ask them to look them up in the dictionary

Have students do speeded trials with individual words

Have students complete word mazes

Teach words as though they were merely new labels for existing concepts when in fact they represent new and challenging concepts

Teach spelling when you mean to be teaching vocabulary (Teaching spelling is certainly important, but teaching both spelling and vocabulary will require more time than teaching only vocabulary. You need to decide when you want to spend that additional time.)

Assume that context will typically yield precise word meanings
