  11. Levels of Vocabulary Knowledge

  12. Tier 1 Words: • Mostly learned without instruction • Everyday words typically known by all • Word is recognized instantly and the meaning is known • Often used as a hook on which a new word’s meaning can connect • Ex: summer, family, hungry, big

  13. Tier 2 Words: Academic Vocabulary: • These words appear frequently in the vocabularies of mature language users (both oral & written). • They are not connected to a particular domain/content but are pervasive. • Meaning is understood when heard but not known well enough to be used actively • Ideal for explicit instruction because they appear in a variety of texts (across contents) and are part of mature oral and written vocabularies • Ex: fascinate, unfortunate, mentioned, analyze, summarize

  14. Tier 3 Words: • Specialized words often related to a specific content area. • Word is not typically known-not even in oral vocabulary • Ex: photosynthesis, ecosystem, ectoplasm, quadratic
