Why teach Vocabulary?
Research shows a student with no direct vocabulary instruction, scores in the 50th percentile ranking.

The same student…
… after specific content-area terms have been taught in a specific way, raises his/her comprehension ability to the 83rd percentile.
Early vocabulary knowledge is a predictor of comprehension in later years. (p. 2- Creating Robust Vocabulary)

Background knowledge is more important to the understanding of reading than IQ.
1st graders from high SocioEconomicStatus know 2X the
words of kids from low SES. (Bringing Word to Life p.1)

Did you know?
In 1st and 2nd grade, children need to learn 800+ words per year, about 2 per day.
In 3rd grade, children need to learn between 2000-3000 new words each year, about 6-8 per day.

“Carving is appropriate for most green and blue slopes, and even some black slopes. However, if you try to carve through moguls, especially in packed powder or corn snow, you’re going to face plant.”
based on “Building Vocabulary: Teacher’s Manual” by Robert J. Marzano and Debra J. Pickering.
"Teaching specific terms in specific ways is the strongest action a teacher can take to ensure academic background."•(Building Academic Vocabulary p.1)

What Words to Teach
Amor de Palabra Word Love by Javier Volcan
Is there a list of grade-
specific words
teachers should be teaching?
Vocabulary by Akira ASKR
Common Core State Standards Identify Three Tiers of Words
3
2
1Everyday Speech Words learned in the early grades - not a challenge to native speakers - not the focus of
discussion
General Academic Wordsmore likely to appear in
written text - subtle or precise ways to say simple things -
highly generalizable
Domain Specific Words- specific to content area - key to understanding new
concept within a text - common in informational
texts
Tier 1
• Words of everyday speech
• Usually learned in the early grades
• Not considered a challenge to the average native speaker
Tier 2
• Tier Two (general academic words) are far more likely to appear in written texts than in speech.
• They appear in all sorts of texts.
Tier 2Represent
subtle or precise ways to say relatively
simple things -- saunter instead of walk
Hanging On by Steve-h
Tier 3Tier Three words are specific to a domain or field of study.
lava, piano, carburetor, legislature, circumference, aorta

Tier 3Tier Three words are...
o key to understanding a new concept.
o far more common in informational texts than in literary texts.
Isabel L. Beck, Margaret G. McKeown, and Linda Kucan (2002, 2008)
Tier 3
Often explicitly defined by the author of a text, repeatedly used, and heavily scaffolded ie: made a part of a glossary.

Tier 2
• Tier 2 words are referred to in the Common Core State Standards as “general academic” words.
• Could be words that describe more specifically or that elevate tone, like writing mention instead of tell, or fortune instead of luck.
• They are the words that are used to discuss, persuade, and explain across disciplines, words like argument, significance, characteristic, and question.
Tier 2 Take Aways
• Kids do not learn the same words at the same rate
• There are no grade specific word lists
• Choosing words can be quite arbitrary
Anchor by Leo R
eynolds
• Chosen words need to be used in a variety of ways
• What makes vocabulary valuable and important is not the words themselves so much as the understandings they afford
(Marilyn Jager Adams (2009, p. 180), Common Core Appendix A)
