Identify the four ways you can build vocabulary and describe which are best for building long-term memory and retention.

What will be an ideal response?


The four ways you can build vocabulary include looking at context clues, using word structures, skipping words, and using a dictionary. Using context clues and word structures are best as they force you to use your background knowledge to come up with the meanings. This helps build long-term memory and retention. Skipping words doesn't help you learn vocabulary but is sometimes a good use of your time when the word doesn't seem important to the understanding of the material. Using a dictionary should be used as a last resort if you can't figure out a word meaning on your own. It is not as helpful in building long-term memory and retention, as you would probably have to look it up again the next time you need to know the word.
