In response to the article, I too agree that science keywords should not be taught prematurely in the first few lessons of a science chapter.Often, keywords are taught in isolation and this method is not conducive to conceptual development.One suggestion is to allow students to interact with science words in multiple ways, e.g. using graphic organisers to present words with a range of contextual information. In this way, students will able to approach words and their meanings more fully.
