Common Core State Standards Identify Three Tiers of Words 3 2 1 Everyday Speech Words learned in the early grades - not a challenge to native speakers - not the focus of discussion General Academic Words more likely to appear in written text - subtle or precise ways to say simple things - highly generalizable Domain Specific Words - specific to content area - key to understanding new concept within a text - common in informational texts

Slide 22

Tier 1 Words of everyday speech Usually learned in the early grades Not considered a challenge to the average native speaker

Slide 23

Tier 2 Tier Two (general academic words) are far more likely to appear in written texts than in speech. They appear in all sorts of texts.

Slide 24

Tier 2 Represent subtle or precise ways to say relatively simple things -- saunter instead of walk Hanging OnHanging On by Steve-h

Slide 32

Tier 2 Tier 2 words are referred to in the Common Core State Standards as general academic words. Could be words that describe more specifically or that elevate tone, like writing mention instead of tell, or fortune instead of luck. They are the words that are used to discuss, persuade, and explain across disciplines, words like argument, significance, characteristic, and question.

Slide 33

Tier 2 Take Aways Kids do not learn the same words at the same rate There are no grade specific word lists Choosing words can be quite arbitrary AnchorAnchor by Leo Reynolds

Slide 34

Chosen words need to be used in a variety of ways What makes vocabulary valuable and important is not the words themselves so much as the understandings they afford (Marilyn Jager Adams (2009, p. 180), Common Core Appendix A) More Tier 2 Take Aways
