Methods based on science

Research has consistently shown that reading regularly can significantly enhance vocabulary acquisition. Here are some key findings that support this.

In summary, the evidence strongly supports the idea that regular reading is a powerful tool for vocabulary acquisition. By engaging with diverse texts, students can significantly enhance their vocabulary, comprehension, and overall language skills.

Backed by Research

A study conducted by researchers at the UCL Institute of Education found that teenagers who read frequently and had access to a variety of books developed a better vocabulary compared to their peers who read less [1]. This highlights the direct correlation between regular reading and vocabulary growth.

Research from 2015 indicated that activities related to reading were the main drivers of vocabulary expansion from grades four to ten. This suggests that engaging with texts not only introduces new words but also reinforces their usage in context [2].

Daily reading has been linked to improved comprehension and overall student performance. Students who read independently tend to have greater reading comprehension, verbal fluency, and general knowledge, which are all essential for vocabulary development [2].

Reading exposes students to new words in context, which is crucial for authentic vocabulary learning. This exposure helps students understand not just the meaning of words but also how to use them effectively in conversation and writing [3].

By the end of a reading series, students can expect to learn a substantial number of new words, which builds their confidence in using and spelling these words in real-life situations. For instance, a structured reading program can lead to the acquisition of approximately 90-145 new words over its duration [2].
