Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the strategies that support and enhance students' understanding of new vocabulary. Determining the appropriate method of vocabulary instruction continues to be a significant issue for teachers. This qualitative study involved two ten-year-old participants where multiple strategies were implemented and assessed using interviews, observations, and student artifacts. Results from this study showed the benefits of each strategy and the importance of student involvement. Educators need to provide opportunities for students to engage in learning that is meaningful and relatable to them. It is vital that educators are aware of the multiple ways in which students learn to ensure they are consistently meeting individual needs.
