PaTTANrsquos Mission

The mission of the Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance

Network (PaTTAN) is to support the efforts and initiatives of the Bureau of

Special Education and to build the capacity of local educational agencies to serve students who receive special

education services

PDErsquos Commitment to Least Restrictive Environment (LRE)

Our goal for each child is to ensure Individualized Education Program (IEP)

teams begin with the general education setting with the use of Supplementary Aids and Services

before considering a more restrictive environment

Mathematical Literacy Caveat

bull Teachers should feel free to use their best judgment based on an understanding of their studentsrsquo needs in selecting words to teach

bull They also should feel free to treat words in different ways Emphasis on what is important

bull Pay attention to those words (whether they meet the criteria for Tier 2 or not) that may require some attention for students to understand

THE IMPACT OF MORPHOLOGY ON VOCABULARY INSTRUCTION

Morphological Analysis

bull Morpheme ndash meaningful part of a word ndash Ex Geometry ndash Greek origin

bull Ge (earth) metria (procedures or systems)

bull Why study words at the morphemic level ndash Students who are aware of morphemes in words

are better readers ndash Knowledge of common morphemes aids in

decoding unknown words ndash Approximately three-quarters of compounded and

affixed words can be deciphered morphemically

3232016

Power of Instructional Routines

bull Students should have organizational structures in place to build organizational routines

bull Each student can create a personal notebook to organize their new words visual depictions and other important information like safety rules

bull Each student should have an ldquoagendardquo to write requirements assignments and other ldquothings to remember to dordquo and to organize their day

63

Vocabulary Instructional Routine

bull Step 1 Introduce the word bull Step 2 Introduce the wordrsquos meaning bull Step 3 Illustrate the word with examples bull Step 4 Check studentsrsquo understanding

ndash Ask deep processing questions ndash Have students discern between examples and non-

examples

ndash Have students generate their own examples ndash Have students generate a sentence (using a sentence

starter)

Power of Instructional Routines

bull Students should have organizational structures in place to build organizational routines

bull Each student can create a personal notebook to organize their new words visual depictions and other important information like safety rules

bull Each student should have an ldquoagendardquo to write requirements assignments and other ldquothings to remember to dordquo and to organize their day

63

Vocabulary Instructional Routine

bull Step 1 Introduce the word bull Step 2 Introduce the wordrsquos meaning bull Step 3 Illustrate the word with examples bull Step 4 Check studentsrsquo understanding

ndash Ask deep processing questions ndash Have students discern between examples and non-

examples

ndash Have students generate their own examples ndash Have students generate a sentence (using a sentence

starter)

Mathematical Literacy Caveat

bull Teachers should feel free to use their best judgment based on an understanding of their studentsrsquo needs in selecting words to teach

bull They also should feel free to treat words in different ways Emphasis on what is important

bull Pay attention to those words (whether they meet the criteria for Tier 2 or not) that may require some attention for students to understand
