Semantic Reasoningfor Vocabulary Acquisition
Semantic Reasoning is the vocabulary instruction approach embedded in InferCabulary. Students deeply learn the meanings of Tier 2 words by finding the common thread among multiple, visual examples. Since most students are not avidly reading, they are missing the 10-12 exposures that are required (Beck & McKeown, 1985) in order to deeply learn word meanings. With InferCabulary, students have all the information to build a semantic map in their minds!
