What are the four quadrants of the Frayer Model?
The Frayer Model divides a page into four sections around a target word: definition, characteristics, examples, and non-examples. Working through all four helps students understand a term deeply rather than memorizing a single definition, reinforcing what the word is and what it is not.
How does the Frayer Model help build vocabulary?
By having students define a word, list its traits, and contrast examples with non-examples, it encourages deeper processing and clearer understanding. Comparing what something is against what it is not sharpens the boundaries of a concept, making the word easier to recall and use correctly.
In which subjects can the Frayer Model be used?
It works across language arts, math, science, and social studies because any term, concept, or process can fit the four quadrants. Teachers use it for vocabulary, math definitions, scientific terms, and historical concepts, making it a flexible tool for almost any subject.
