Vocabulary learning is an essential component of early literacy instruction. However, choosing appropriate words for instruction can be a challenge, with many resources encouraging the instruction of words that are either too easy or too obscure. This article, based on a systematic review of vocabulary interventions, presents research‐based principles for choosing words to teach. The principles include teaching a variety of words rather than relying too heavily on concrete nouns, choosing "just right" words that are neither too easy nor too hard, teaching words that are useful for accessing complex text and communicating with others, and teaching words that consider the context and the needs of learners.

学习重要的单词：为幼儿选择词汇

词汇学习是早期扫盲教学的重要组成部分。但是，选择合适的单词进行教学可能是一个挑战，因为很多资源都鼓励对太简单或太晦涩的单词进行教学。本文基于对词汇干预的系统评价，提出了基于研究的原则，用于选择要教的单词。这些原则包括：教授各种单词，而不是过于依赖具体名词；选择既不太容易也不太难的“恰到好处”的单词；教授对访问复杂文本和与他人交流有用的单词；以及教导那些考虑学习者的背景和需求。
