Foreword EDL's purpose in developing and publishing core vocabularies is to improve the readability of instructional materials. Vocabulary load is aclmowledged as the major factor in determining readability. EDL's vocabulary lists will provide teachers, authors, and researchers with word lists to be used in the writing and evaluation of instructional materials.
HISTORY EDL's involvement in the development of core vocabularies extends over three decades. .. The reading core vocabulary dates back to 1949 with the publica-
tion of Basic Vocabulary' by the Washington Square Reading Center, EDL's parent organization. This vocabulary was sub-sequently revised in 1951,' 1955,' and 1969.'
.. The mathematics core vocabulary was published in 1975.'
.. The science and social studies lists were developed in 1978 and are now being published for the first time. This publication brings together the reading, mathematics, science,
and social studies lists into one volume. Further, it includes grade-by-grade lists for reading, a cumulative alphabetical list, and an adult word list appropriate for adults reading at low levels.
A full explanation of the origin and organization of the vocabular-ies is found in the Appendix.
EDL READING CORE VOCABULARY The EDL Reading Core Vocabulary is composed of words introduced in the more widely used basal reading series and/or found on fre-quency lists. Its sources are described in detail in the Appendix.
There are 14 graded lists for levels from pre-primer through 13. Each list is arranged in alphabetical order and includes only the words introduced on the specified grade level. However, it is assumed that students already know the words contained in all of the lists for the preceding levels.
The cumulative list contains all of the words used in grades pre-primer through 13, arranged alphabetically, and indexed as to grade level. A number (or P for pre-primer) is placed before each word in this list to indicate the level at which the word is introduced.
EDL MATHEMATICS CORE VOCABULARY The mathematics core vocabulary is based on two doctoral disser-tations. The purpose of these dissertations was to compile an in-ventory of the frequency of use of modern mathematical terms in commonly used basal mathematics series. The availability of these word lists enables the mathematics teacher to provide instruction in mathematics terms according to their frequency and importance. One list contains words introduced in grades 1-3, a second list con-tains words introduced in grades 4-6.
EDL SCIENCE AND SOCIAL STUDIES CORE VOCABULARIES The science and social studies lists are based on frequency of occur-rence in glossaries of words found in the major textbook series. Since the understanding of vocabulary and concepts goes hand-in-hand in content area learning, these lists enable teachers and writers to develop vocabulary exercises with words appropriate for the various grade levels.
A science list and a social studies list are provided for each of grades 3, 4, 5, and 6 .
HOW TEACHERS CAN USE THE WORD LISTS Teachers will find a variety of uses for the word lists:
Readability levels of instructional materials can be deter-mined. If more than 10 percent of the total vocabulary is above the student's reading level, the teacher should plan to aid the student in reading the material.
Informal inventories can be developed to assess a student's instructional level in reading or in a content area.
The student is asked to read through a graded list of words. The student should lmow 90 percent or more of the words on a given level in order to be considered qualified to work independently in materials written at that level.
Vocabulary improvement exercises can be based on a given word list. The teacher can create dictionary activities, sentence-writing activities, context-clue exercises, and other kinds of exercises to improve students' understanding of word meaning and usage.
The readability of teacher-made lessons can be checked against the word list for the intended instructional level of the materi-als. After the above-level words in a lesson have been identified, the teacher can either rewrite the lesson or pre-teach the words in question.
HOW WRITERS CAN USE THE WORD LISTS Writers of instructional materials, childrens' stories, or trade books can use the word lists to ensure that these materials can be read independently by students in the intended target audience. (Books to be read to children by parents might be exempted from this proce-dure.) First, the writer must determine the grade level of the target audience. The vocabulary level of words used can be checked against the Core Vocabulary either during or after the writing of the first draft. Above-level words should be marked by circling or highlighting. Each above-level word should be considered individually. Words that are critical to the presentation of key concepts can be explained with various types of context clues (synonyms, opposites, direct explana-tion, etc.). Other words can be eliminated. The writer can refer to the graded lists for possible synonyms or for simpler ways of present-ing the concepts.

EDL READING CORE VOCABULARY-
a I discover EDl Reading Core Vocabulary-Adult Word list
The aural vocabulary of adults reading at very low levels is usually higher than their reading vocabulary. Therefore, if instruction is delivered through audio cassettes or teacher lecture, the following word list should be used rather than the lists that appear on pages 4-11. The number or letter which preceeds each word indicates the reading level, from Readiness through Level 3, most appropriate for the introduction of the word. Once a word is introduced, it can be used in all subsequent levels.
