Abstract

This exploratory study examined the ways in which fourth grade students, in an urban setting, responded to a nine-week implementation of Marzano's Six Step Vocabulary Process. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between the direct instruction of vocabulary and the effects on student achievement as measured by Vocabulary Words Assessments, Rigby Reading A-Z Fluency Assessments, and Sentence Complexity Assessments.
