How to Improve Reading Scores on the STAAR Reading, Math, and Science Test!

How do you improve STAAR Reading, Math and Science Test scores FAST? Improving STAAR Reading, Math, and Science test scores fast is best accomplished by studying tier 2 and tier 3 academic test words. The STAAR test website provides a guild and explanation of STAAR testing and neglects the testing vocabulary in any real or helpful way. Math, Reading and Language Arts vocabulary are divided into individual content specific RIT levels. The tier 2 and 3 vocabulary is not directly or explicitly covered in the STAAR Standard but it is easy to find other resources to prepare for STAAR testing. Academic Vocabulary list below are my favorite resources to prepare my daily lessons and curriculum. The lists below are a good resource to start studying for the STAAR test in 2014-2015.

Tier 1 Basic words that commonly appear in spoken language. Because they are heard frequently in numerous contexts and with nonverbal communication, Tier 1 words rarely require explicit instruction.Examples of Tier 1 words are clock, baby, happy and walk.

Tier 2 High frequency words used by mature language users across several content areas. Because of their lack of redundancy in oral language, Tier 2 words present challenges to students who primarily meet them in print. Examples of Tier 2 words are obvious, complex, establish and verify.

Tier 3 Words that are not frequently used except in specific content areas or domains. Tier 3 words are central to building knowledge and conceptual understanding within the various academic domains and should be integral to instruction of content. Medical, legal, biology and mathematics terms are all examples of these words.
