1. How does the strategy connect with prior knowledge?
2. How does is support memory?3. How does the instruction support learners
who may struggle with new vocabulary learning?
4. In what situations would this strategy be most effective?
Word Mapping Strategy
To expand students vocabulary by helping them predict the meanings of unknown words using key language elements (roots, prefixes, suffixes) they come across while reading.
Purpose of instruction
• To teach learners the meaning of prefixes, suffixes, & roots
• To teach learners to use the Word Mapping Strategy to predict the meaning of new words
• To enable learners to “play” with and become familiar with word patterns
2009
Teaching Word Mapping Strategy
• Part I: Pretest• Part II: Introduce Morphemes and the Strategy
– Prefixes– Suffixes– Roots– The Strategy
• Part III: Practice the Strategy• Part IV: Post test and Generalization
Teaching Word Mapping StrategyPart I: Pretest
Can learners 1. identify prefixes,
suffixes and roots in word?
2. give the meaning for the word parts ?
3. give definitions?
• Portable
• Transcribe
Part II: Teach Prefixes, Suffixes and Word Families
“port” – to carry

Word Mapping Strategy
Step 1: M – Map the word parts
Step 2: A – Attack the meaning of each part
Step 3: P – Predict the word’s meaning
Step 4: S – See if you’re right!
