These words are carefully selected to help students grasp important concepts and ideas central tothe Kapow Primary Religion and Worldviews curriculum.  \nThe vocabulary is categorised under three curriculum strands: Substantive knowledge, Personal knowledge and Disciplinary knowledge. This document also highlights specific terms related to particular worldviews, such as ‘moksha’(Hindu) or ‘salvation’ (Christian).  \nOur aim in consolidating these keywords is to enable teachers to focus their teaching on the vocabulary outlined for their year group, ensuring a strong understanding of what words pupils should already be familiar with and those they will encounter in future years.  \n‘What we call “knowledge” is language, and this fact proves that to understand any  \nsubject, we first need to understand its language’  \nAlex Quigley, Closing the Vocabulary Gap  \nComing soon! Unit hubs are being updated for 24/25 to ensure the ‘Key vocabulary’ listed matches this document.  \n© Copyright Kapow Primary 2022 [www.kapowprimary.com](www.kapowprimary.com 2)[ 2](www.kapowprimary.com 2)  \nReceptive vs expressive vocabulary  \nReceptive vocabulary  \nThe words a person understands when they hear or read them. Vocabulary that an individual can recognise and comprehend even if they do not actively use it in conversation or writing.  \nExpressive vocabulary  \nThe words that a person can actively use in speech or writing to communicate.  \nSome vocabulary will be used in lessons earlier than indicated in this document; this is done intentionally. Pupils often understand vocabulary receptively before they can confidently use it expressively. Our lesson plans guide teachers to model new vocabulary before the vocabulary is explicitly taught and before pupils are expected to use it to communicate ideas themselves..  \nThe year groups listed represent when pupils are expected to retain the vocabulary and its meanings, and begin to actively use the words inappropriate contexts. We have chosen to focus on when vocabulary is used expressively, as this makes it easier for teachers to assess.  \nHowever, active use of new vocabulary does not necessarily imply complete mastery of each word or concept, as understanding continues to evolve and deepen over time.  \n© Copyright Kapow Primary 2022 Religion and worldviews: Vocabulary progression [www.kapowprimary.com](www.kapowprimary.com 3)[ 3](www.kapowprimary.com 3)  \nChoosing words to teach  \nIn selecting the words to include in this vocabulary progression, we have used the ‘Three-tiers framework’(Beck, McKeown & Omanson, 1987) which advises focusing instruction on Tier 2 vocabulary for the most productive gains. Tier 1 words have not been included in the progression, unless they acquire a more specialised meaning (and would therefore be classed as Tier 2 or Tier 3 words) in the context of Religion and worldviews. For example, words like ‘spirit,’ ‘chosen’ and ‘messenger’ might be familiar to children in general contexts but have been included in our progression because it is important for children to understand their specific meanings in the context of religious studies.  \nTier 3 vocabulary  \nThese words are used infrequently in conversation and often their use is subject-specific. Textbook glossaries usually focus on Tier 3 words as they can tend to be abstract in nature. They require explicit teaching and contextualisation.  \nTier 2 vocabulary  \nThese words are of high-utility as they are words which appear across the school curriculum and in","cbCaintMXQvYNhes","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaintMXQvYNhes","pdf",894590,"English","# Introduction to key vocabulary\n## Receptive vs expressive vocabulary\n## Choosing words to teach\n## Tier 3 vocabulary\n## Tier 2 vocabulary\n## Tier 1 vocabulary\n## Overview - Vocabulary progression","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the vocabulary progression in the Religion and Worldviews curriculum?\",\"answer\":\"It consolidates essential words and terms crucial for understanding the subject, so teachers can focus teaching on the vocabulary appropriate for each year group.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the document distinguish between receptive and expressive vocabulary?\",\"answer\":\"Receptive vocabulary refers to words pupils understand when they hear or read them.
