What is The Key Vocabulary Routine?
• 5-step routine for embedding vocabulary instruction in content classroom teaching
• Used by all teachers throughout the school day with existing content reading material
• Foundational routine that provides consistency as students move from grade to grade and class to class
©Joan Sedita, www.keystoliteracy.com
The Five Steps
1. Preview.
2. Use activities that connect related words.
3. Select specific words to teach in-depth.
4. Use word learning strategies (context, word parts).
5. Promote word consciousness.
Step 1Preview
• Activate prior knowledge
• Provide temporary, basic familiarity with words so students will not stumble over the words during reading
• Helpful to have students identify words for previewing

Step 3Select Specific Words
to Teach In-Depth
• We need to teach some essential content words in-depth
• Models and suggestions for identifying these words
• How to teach everything about the word and provide multiple meaningful exposures

Step 4Word Learning Strategies
• To determine meaning of an unfamiliar word
• Use of context
• Use of word parts– Roots, suffixes, prefixes– Word families
©Joan Sedita, www.keystoliteracy.com
Step 5Promote Word Consciousness
• Encourage students to become WORD COLLECTORS!
• Word play – in the classroom, in the school
• Word walls
• Availability of a wide variety of reading materials to promote wide reading and exposure to words
