  4. Rich and robust vocabulary instruction goes beyond definitional knowledge. Students should be actively involved in word learning and the learning should include a personalized component. (Blachowicz and Fisher, 2000) Fresno County Office of Education

  5. Beck and colleagues (2002) suggest that teachers focus vocabulary instruction on Tier 2 words. • Tier 1 words are words students are likely to know(e.g., baby, funny). These are basic words that do not usually require instruction in word meaning. English Language Learners, who need instruction in more basic vocabulary, may require instruction in Tier 1 words. • Tier 2 words appear frequently in many contexts, are words that can be worked with in a variety of ways, and are words in which students have a general knowledge. These words will add precision and specificity to their language. (e.g., obstacle, compromise). Concentrate on these words during your instruction. • Tier 3 words appear rarely in text or are content specific(e.g., irascible, biogenetics). These kinds of words are encountered infrequently, so it is usually not recommended to devote a lot of time to teaching these words. Academic vocabulary are often Tier 3 words, teach these as needed in content area. Fresno County Office of Education
