 Vocabulary Development
Vocabulary plays a fundamental
role in the reading process and is
critical to reading comprehension.
Readers cannot understand what
they are reading without knowing
what most of the words mean.
 The words listed in the box are found on
the poem that you will read later in this
module. See how much you know about these
words by classifying them on the table below.
You will not be scored in this activity, so just
be honest to place the words in the table
based on the heading.

 CONTEXT CLUES
CONTEXT CLUES are hints found within a
sentence, paragraph, or passage that a reader can
use to understand the meanings of new or
unfamiliar words. Learning the meaning of a word
through its use in a sentence or paragraph is the
most practical way to build vocabulary, since a
dictionary is not always available when a reader
encounters an unknown word.

In the Time of Plague
N. Scott Momaday (Sta. Fe, N.M.)

And measure the distance of death.

 READING SKILLS
Reading skills are abilities that pertain to a
person’s capacity to read, comprehend,
interpret and decode written language
texts. It can encompass several key
aspects that work together to develop
overall literacy skills, including
comprehension, fluency, vocabulary and
strategies that help readers interpret and
find meaning in texts.
 What are Textual Aids?

Textual aids are educational instruments, could be written

texts, or printed texts and other ways of emphasizing the
essential phrases, thoughts, graphs, and/or images. They
are tools or materials that provide support and facilitate
understanding of texts. Simple examples of textual aids
are those words being highlighted, bolded, italicized, and
adding charts, graphs, diagrams, maps, tables, etc.
(https://brainy.ph>...> English). Advance organizers are
pedagogical devices that bridge the gap between
whatlearners already know and what learners need to
know (Ausubel 1968, 200).
They can include anything from skimming the
reading material to the use of graphic organizers.
1. Narrative
2. Expository
3. Skimming
4. Graphic Organizers (Concept Map, Flow Diagram,
Sequence Chart, Venn diagram, Cause and Effect
Diagram, etc.)
Graphic Organizers
Graphic Organizers are used as a method of presenting information. They are
efficient because they highlight and focus on just the important aspects and
they
also show relationships between necessary information.
Noting Details
Noting details is a reading comprehension skill that involves picking out, from
a
piece of text, the particular piece or pieces of information to achieve a given
purpose.

These details are the ones that good readers notice and authors use to
emphasize
the events and the characters in the story.
Narrative
This type of advance organizer presents new information in the format
of a story.
For example, a teacher will provide the main and important
concepts of the lesson by telling a story that includes these concepts.
Expository
This type of advance organizer is used to present new or detailed
information as opposed to making connections with previously
introduced information.
Skimming
Skimming is when the teacher provides the learners with the
opportunity to skim over the information that is about to be introduced,
focusing on highlighted information (headings). It is reading rapidly in
order to get a general overview of the material.
Details are divided into two:
1. Implicit Details- These details are used to
describe or to define a general state. These are
the details that we can’t really see because they
are not plainly expressed.
2. Explicit Details- These are the specific details.
The details that we can seeand are measurable
because they are stated clearly.
