Vocabulary Correction Procedures

The procedure when correcting student errors on vocabulary exercises is similar to the word practice correction procedure. In the vocabulary exercises the teacher omits the spell step, as this is not needed with the vocabulary tasks.

The task below is from RMT 4, Lesson 5, Exercise 5 on page 5 in your teacher’s course. The correction procedure for this type of exercise is explained below.

Scenario: Student makes an error on the question presented on the first bullet when asked to apply the word “sibling” in a sentence.

Model: Tell the students the correct answer.

Lead (if needed): Say the correct sentence with the students, or have students repeat the sentence on their own.

Test: Ask the same whole question again.

Retest: Go back to the beginning of the task or exercise.

A “lead” step may be needed in the vocabulary correction procedure If students are having trouble saying a long statement or are mixing up the words within the sentence. In a lead step, the teacher says the sentence with the students.
