Big (polite & interesting) debate on vocabulary between me Alex Quigley on X this morning. I’d have like it to be here but it’s tricky when things are 1st posted there. Hoping that will change as more people change their sphere of activity. - ThreadSky

One of my favourite pieces on vocab is this from Nagy & Scott. Have you read it? Such a deep understanding of how children acquire vocab & meanings. Maybe nothing you don't already know & think but it always makes me shout 'YES' several times while reading!

I hadn't read this before. It's terrific. Thanks! I love the way it interconnects syntactic, morphological and meta-cognitive elements to show how word learning happens in complex, interconnected ways. Also how word knowledge is only valuable for its usability. And reading/talking at its heart!

Yes! It is so good & I like a re-read now & again. It informs my work w/teachers (from any discipline) on what's best practice for teaching vocab.

I just went over to the other side and had a read…very interesting indeed. Like you, I look forward to a time where these kind of debates happen here.
