How to develop Vocabulary Skills?
Dolly Das
Librarian, ZIET Bhubaneswar
Introduction
Vocabulary is the foundation of any language. More words will help to become fluent in that
language. Vocabulary is the key to communicate with other people. Words are the currency of
communication. Robust vocabulary is helpful in all areas of communication- listening, speaking,
reading and writing. To have mastery over vocabulary is very important because people judge you
by the words you are using. A good vocabulary bank really improves your ability to think.The
National Reading Panel (NRP) stated that vocabulary plays an important role both in learning to read
and in comprehending text: readers cannot understand text without knowing what most of the
words mean.
Kinds of vocabulary
A. Active vocabulary:-The active vocabulary of a person consists of those words that he can use
correctly in his own speech &writing. He fully understands the meaning of those words.
B. Passive vocabulary:-The passive vocabulary of a person consists of those words which he
recognizes when he encounters them in print or in speech of others .He can make out the meaning of
those words while reading newspaper. He finds number of unfamiliar words but he has no mastery over
those words .He is able to judge the meaning through context
Types of words
❖ Content Words
❖ Structural Words
Content Words are those that stand for Things (food, clothes, paper)ideas (love, courage ,help)
and entities(employee, school, system). They are called Nouns.
Actions-They are called verbs(read, play, write) &Qualities-They are called adjectives (beautiful
,brave, strong) and adverbs(quickly, gladly ,happily)
Structural words are those which have little or no meaning but they bind together other words
to make phrases, clauses and sentences.
The following is the list of structural words.
➢ All the pronouns-I you, he ,they etc. & All the preposition-on ,under ,at etc
➢ All the auxiliary verbs-did shall etc &All the conjunction- and ,but ,or etc.
4
Page 150 of 356
Write up- Internal Speakers / In-Service Course for Librarians, 16 Jan-5 Feb 2019/ ZIET Bhubaneswar
➢ All the relatives-which, whose etc. & Some structural adjectives-that, any etc.
Strategies to improve vocabulary
There are many ways to improve your vocabulary .You must cultivate a habit of reading
regularly. Expansion through reading/ repetition / words in context / vocabulary tree / word
walls/ prefixes &suffixes/ visual dictionary / word games / word formation chart etc.
How to meet the strategies
Encourage students to focus on new vocabulary. It doesn’t mean sitting down for hours If you
can get students to commit to just 15 minutes a day of focused vocabulary practice they will
soon have a solid vocabulary base.
Short online activities are also great for this .It’s not difficult to integrate learning into their daily
routine. Encourage students to be more systematic about studying. Provide them the materials
they need for this purpose.
Motivate students to use a good dictionary such as Oxford Advance Learner’s Dictionary.
Students will come to know the pronunciation of the vocabulary. They can also learn the
synonyms & antonyms.
Encourage students to read regularly rather than large texts more they read they will be
reviewing vocabulary and that increased exposure will help the vocabulary get stored into the
students long term memory. This in turn will enable better spoken and written production.
Not only reading ,listening news & music also helps to enrich vocabulary. The more the language
is seen in different contexts the more students will be extrinsically motivated.
Fun Ways to Teach Vocabulary
Drawing-Colouring pictures or a piece of art help students visualize the words. By encouraging
students to make images, you can increase the chance of visual leaning devices.
Online Videos-This is another visual way to teach vocabulary is to find videos that showcase the
words used in videos related for people learning English can also be helpful.
Brainstorm-One method of associating vocabulary with familiar words is to brainstorm with
students. You can write the word on the board and tell them to associate with new vocabulary
.like- Mare to horse..
Act it Out-Very interesting method to learn vocabulary. students can take turns acting out one
of the vocabulary words while other students can guess the word
Story weaving—By seeing picture the students can weave story using the new vocabulary .Thus
it will be helpful to remember the vocabulary

Importance of Learning Vocabulary
It gives your child the ability to say what he or she means. By having several words at their
disposal for describing an event or emotion, they can be explicit when sharing their ideas and
opinions.
It helps your child understand what other people are saying and what she/he is
reading. Vocabulary is the foundation for comprehension. Unfamiliar words become holes in the
text, preventing your child from completely understanding what he or she has just read.
It bolsters their ability to grasp ideas and think more logically. The greater number of words
your child has, the more he or she can interpret ideas from others, and express their own ideas.
It boosts your child’s power of persuasion. Having a rich vocabulary will help your child
communicate in a more engaging way. Relying on one or two words to describe an idea will be
repetitive and not as persuasive, as relying on a vocabulary of 10-15 similarly descriptive terms.

CLASS LIBRARY ACTIVITIES
JITENDRA DAS,
Librarian & Resource person,
Kendriya Vidyalaya No-3, Bhubaneswar,
National curriculum framework 2005: Highlights the importance of libraries that should
serve as a place for holding discussions story-telling should have a child friendly ambience
with a positive ethos, Good lighting and seating arrangement. Gives greater importance to
activity oriented teaching and learning.
KVS calls for proficiency in languages in primary education along with the former
aspect. Whereas the CMP for Qualitative Improvement of the Primary Education suggests to
design the academic practices in such a way that the child should transit from ‘learning to
read’ to ‘reading to learn’. Library activities: making them ready to learn
At the earlier stages of their education, children come in contact with books and
reading in more than one ways. They may listen to the stories read out by their parents or
teachers or try to read whatever they see. Children should be encouraged to use the library
or participate in library activities in their tender age, as that will make them more likely to
remain users in future years. According to the UNESCO School Library Manifesto: The
class teacher may conduct activities such as storytelling, read aloud, book talks/discussions,
competitions (book review writing, reading, news reading, book jacket / bookmark/ poster
designing, developing a story, etc.), assembly programmes (book reviews, stage
conversations based on book themes, dramatizations, puppets), awards (best reader of the
class), exhibitions/displays, preparation of wall magazines, scrap books, etc. Tour to the
main library shall be conducted for primary students to make them aware of library, books
and reading. The librarian should support the class teachers proactively to set up class
libraries and organize following activities/events.

CONDEMNATION AND WRITE-OFF THE LIBRARY BOOKS AS PER KVS PROVISIONS
JITENDRA DAS,
Librarian & Resource person,
Kendriya Vidyalaya No-3, Bhubaneswar
Introduction: “It is better to lose a book than a reader”-- Dr. S.R. Ranganathan. It implies
Library is not a Store house but a service institution where normal tear and wear and losses are
expected. Good Offices Committee Website Observation: Procurement of books, publications,
periodicals etc. for a library does not require a tender to be called as per Chapter 6 (Procurement of
goods and services) Rule 136 (Definition of Goods) of the General Financial Rules 2005 of the
Government of India. This rule clearly excludes books, publications, periodicals etc. for a library from the
category of “goods”.
The fifth law of library science "the library is a growing organism" means that a library should be a
continually changing institution, never static in its outlook. Books, methods, and the physical library
should be updated over time. This law focused more on the need for internal change. Dr. Ranganathan
opined that library organizations must accommodate growth in staff, the physical collection, and patron
use. This allows for growth in the physical building, reading areas, shelving, and in space for New Arrivals.
Thus as per requirements of the Fifth Law weeding-out of the Documents is a necessary process in
every Library Institution. KVS also makes provisions for condemnation and write-off the Library books in
view of Govt. of India rules i.e. GFR.
1. Condemnation: Govt. of India Rules

an influential armament for developing literacy. The library collection of books as well as other
resources and the provision of a fascinating and inspiring environment and the schools’ attitude towards
the usage of the library are significant in motivating and enhancing the learners’ capability to read for
their schoolwork as well as for recreational purposes. The library collection contributes in developing
literacy in learners. The reading resources in the library collection should supplement and sustain the
school curriculum as well as the students’ interests.
So What is Information Literacy?
Information literacy is a set of abilities requiring individuals to "recognize when information is needed
and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information." Information
literacy is regarded as both an appropriate and a fundamental life skill (UNESCO 2008). Literacy can be

‘Little Open Library’ is a concept which sprang up from the ‘open’ movement and inspired by the ‘Little
Free Library’ movement.
The information and knowledge of the universe should be shared among the people. The best
way to share knowledge is still through books. So the LOLibs.
The Little Open Library invites everyone to take books from it but with one condition, that they
have to deposit another book in the place of the book they have taken.
The library connects people through books and reading. If you have a book to share, keep it in
any LOLib, there must be a reader.
It is also based on one of the historic Five Laws of Library Science, that, every book its reader. It
is the right of each book to get its reader. Let the books have their readers and let everyone
should get his/her favorite book.
