The instructional implication of research showing the value of deeper word learning is that instruction must accelerate children’s vocabulary by focusing on words within the larger context of associated concepts. The knowledge hypothesis, a model of relation between developing vocabulary and reading comprehension,supports the importance of this instructional approach, positing that words are part of larger knowledge units and that it is these structures, not the vocabulary per se, that impact comprehension (Wagner, Muse, & Tannenbaum, 2007). In a variation of the knowledge hypothesis, Nagy (2007) argued that vocabulary and comprehension are empirically related because they share a common set of metalinguistic awareness roots.However, the research in this area is not equivocal. The complicated relationship between vocabulary and comprehension was reflected in Elleman et al.’s findings (2009) showing an over all positive effect of vocabulary training for custom comprehension measures but a negligible effect for standardized measures, suggesting that the effects of vocabulary training may not generalize beyond taught target words.
