Teachers use examples to illustrate when and how a concept applies across various situations. Nonexamples are used to show the boundaries of when the concept does not apply. For example, when teaching the vocabulary word imaginary, adding examples of when the word applies provides a deeper meaning of the word (examples: land of Oz, unicorn, dragon, monster, mermaid). Nonexamples are used to show the boundaries of when the concept no longer applies (nonexamples: school, horse, dinosaur). They work best when related to the example in some way (e.g., land of Oz and school are both places, unicorn and horse are similar, dinosaurs look like dragons and are no longer around, but dinosaurs were real). The examples and nonexamples work together to show how the vocabulary word applies. In phonics, examples are used to show when to apply a phonics rule and nonexamples emphasize when the rule does not apply.
When planning instruction using examples and nonexamples, teachers should consider showing a wide range of examples (demonstrating various ways the word applies), close-in nonexamples (identifying boundaries), and always end instruction with a positive example (instead of a nonexample).
Why is this important?
Why is this important?
Teaching using examples makes information more concrete to students. It helps students see when to apply the new word, strategy, or rule, to keep from underusing the new skill.
What Examples and Nonexamples IS:
What Examples and Nonexamples IS:
- Using multiple examples of a concept to teach the concept
- Using multiple nonexamples to teach the boundaries of a concept
Example (of examples/ nonexamples):
- Teaching the word beverage:
- Examples include -
- water in a glass
- milk in a cup
- juice in a box
- Nonexamples include
- pizza (edible but not a liquid)
- lake (liquid but not edible)
- Examples include -
- Teaching the CVCe rule: If a word has a consonant vowel consonant e, the first vowel says its name.
- Examples include -
- Rate
- Mope
- Time
- Nonexamples include
- Rat
- Mop
- Tim
- Examples include -
What Examples and Nonexamples IS NOT:
What Examples and Nonexamples IS NOT:
- Using only one example to explain a concept
- Using nonexamples that do not relate to the example
- Teaching the word beverage and use nonexample of “lamp” which does not relate to beverage.
- Explaining a concept without an example
- When teaching cvce words: Teacher says, “If a word has a consonant vowel consonant e, the first vowel says its name.” Teacher does not provide multiple examples of cvce words.
