PROVEN STRATEGIES TO HELP TEACHERS ENHANCE VOCABULARY DEVELOPMENT IN THEIR CLASSROOMS!
Children use vocabulary stored in their auditory memory to make sense of the words they see and read in print. Readers must understand what they read if they are to develop strong word recognition and automaticity. Explicit vocabulary instruction is needed to build up a rich store of semantic meanings associated with the words, phrases, sentences and text they read.
THE DALE-CHALL READABILITY SAMPLES
Tier 1 Academic Vocabulary
Tier 1 vocabulary comprises the basic words commonly appearing in a spoken language — clock, baby, happy and walk for example. These words are often experienced in a variety of contexts, including that of nonverbal communication. Tier 1 vocabulary rarely requires explicit instruction.
Tier 2 Academic Vocabulary
Mature language users across several academic content areas are familiar with the less frequently encountered words in the Tier 2 category. Words such as: obvious, complex, establish and verify. Cognitive verbs are also included in the Tier 2 word category. Because of their lack of redundancy in text, oral language and their multiple meaning or descriptive nature, tier 2 words challenge students who primarily meet them in print and on test. Bloom’s and Webb's DOK cognitive verbs are integral to any successful reading instruction or intervention.
Tier 3 Academic Words
Tier 3 vocabulary consists of infrequently used words. These words are central to building CALPS knowledge and conceptual understanding and should be integral to instruction of content.
Though infrequently used in day to day language, they are common except in various academic domains such as in the disciplines of medicine, law, biology, and mathematics.
