Direct linkCrosson, Amy C.; McKeown, Margaret G.; Moore, Debra W.; Ye, Feifei – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2019
This study investigated the hypothesis that academic vocabulary instruction infused with morphological analysis of bound Latin roots-such as analysis of the relation between innovative and its bound root, nov (meaning "new")-will enhance word learning outcomes for English Learner (EL) adolescents. Latinate words with bound roots comprise…

Crosson, Amy C.; McKeown, Margaret G.; Robbins, Kelly P.; Brown, Kathleen J. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2019
Purpose: In this clinical focus article, the authors argue for robust vocabulary instruction with emergent bilingual learners both in inclusive classroom settings and in clinical settings for emergent bilinguals with language and literacy disorders. Robust vocabulary instruction focuses on high-utility academic words that carry abstract meanings…

Crosson, Amy C.; McKeown, Margaret G.; Ward, Arthur K., Jr. – Language Assessment Quarterly, 2019
The purpose of this research is to develop a vocabulary assessment, Evaluation of Academic Vocabulary or "EAV," that gauges students' depth of knowledge of academic words and is sensitive to vocabulary growth in the context of literacy interventions. We report results from two studies with native English-speaking middle school students…

Crosson, Amy C.; McKeown, Margaret G. – Cognition and Instruction, 2016
This study investigated how middle school students leverage information about bound Latin roots (e.g., "voc" in "advocate" and "vociferous") to infer meanings of unfamiliar words, and how instruction may facilitate morphological analysis using roots. A dynamic assessment of morphological analysis was administered to…

Peer reviewedMcKeown, Margaret G.; Beck, Isabel L. – Remedial and Special Education (RASE), 1988
A vocabulary instruction program for intermediate grades is described. The program improves comprehension through use of such features as multiple exposures to words in various contexts and engaging students in active thinking about word meanings. This method of instruction is compared with instruction that offers only definitional information.…

Peer reviewedMcKeown, Margaret G. – Reading Research Quarterly, 1985
The process of acquiring word meaning from context was investigated for high- and low-ability fifth-grade children. Findings demonstrated characteristics of processing that differentiate successful and less successful acquisition and underscore the complexity of the meaning-acquisition process. (HOD)
