  6. 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

  7. 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

  8. Think – Write, Pair Share Think about the three categories of vocabulary (think) Spend a few minutes writing notes about your current understanding of the three categories (write) Once you have your thoughts on paper, share your thoughts with a partner (pair share) Fresno County Office of Education

  9. Write a definition in your own words for each “vocabulary tier” Fresno County Office of Education

  10. California Standards Test (CST)CA High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE)Vocabulary Analysis Each group will analyze one test question. Each group will make a poster that will identify: • Academic words that often appear in many academic contexts (Tier 2) • Academic words that are specific to the content of the question (Tier 3) (English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Science) Discuss suggestions to help your students understand those words in the context of the particular test.

A   Humans do not live at the South Pole, and     scientists sometimes visit there. B   Humans do not live at the South Pole, or     scientists sometimes visit there. C   Humans do not live at the South Pole, but     scientists sometimes visit there. D   Leave as is. Fresno County Office of Education
