Abstract：Vocabulary is one of the three core elements of English learning. The numbers of vocabulary that one mustered have a close relationship with their English level. But usually it is a difficult task to teach and acquire vocabulary. This study tries to know more about the Incidental Vocabulary Acquisition through reading of the Second Year High School Students, and tries to help students to acquire vocabulary from this way. A questionnaire, interview and case study were used to collect the data that were discussed in the paper. The findings show evidence that the participants can acquire vocabulary incidentally through reading. And in the process of Incidental Vocabulary Acquisition through reading, a number of factors of the reading materials may impact on learners’ vocabulary acquisition. Hopefully this study can provide some hints for learners on what to do or should do to aid the process of acquiring vocabulary through reading.
