Vocabulary learning can be promoted through direct instruction of word meanings and through incidental learning from contexts that provide rich opportunities to hear and use new vocabulary words. Teachers should attempt to connect words that are being taught to other parts of the academic curriculum: ongoing thematic units, books that are being read, field trips, etc. These vocabulary-curriculum connections provide opportunities for children to encounter the targeted words repeatedly in a short period of time-a crucial factor in word learning.
