This is the first type of vocabulary we develop as children. Adults recognize and understand close to 50,000 words.  \nSpeaking Vocabulary  \nThese are the words we use to convey information and ideas when we speak. Speaking vocabulary is typically a lot smaller than listening vocabulary—studies estimate 5,000–10,000 words.  \nReading Vocabulary  \nThese are the words we recognize and understand when we see them in print. People typically develop reading vocabulary by reading a wide variety of content. However, to read a wide variety of content, readers need a broad reading vocabulary. Much vocabulary instruction focuses on helping students develop a broad reading vocabulary.  \nWriting Vocabulary  \nThese are the words we use to convey information and ideas in print. Typically , writing vocabulary is the smallest type and is heavily influenced by the number of words we can spell correctly.  \nTiers of Vocabulary  \nVocabulary words can be divided into three tiers.  \nTier 1  \nBasic Tier 1 words are typically nouns, verbs, familiar adjectives, and common sight words. They will already be part of a student’s oral vocabulary. These words are often found in lowlevel instructional materials. We use them to teach alphabetics and word study skills specifically because they are already part of oral vocabulary. Examples include shoe, paper, sad, run, and blue.  \nTier 2  \nHigher-level Tier 2 words are found in more sophisticated texts across a variety of content and genres. They typically have multiple or nuanced meanings and are used to provide description and detail. These words are much less likely to be part of a student’s current vocabulary. For intermediate and advanced students, focus vocabulary instruction on Tier 2 words. Building students’ understanding of Tier 2 words gives them the expanded vocabulary they will need to read higher-level, more sophisticated texts with confidence. That larger vocabulary will also help them express themselves better when writing and speaking. Examples include exertion, unanimous, rickety, benevolent, and masterpiece.  \nTier 3  \nSpecialized Tier 3 words are related to specific topics such as health, finance, technology, or occupations. People typically learn these words when the need arises, and they usually do not become part of a person’s everyday vocabulary. Vocabulary instruction for Tier 3 words occurs when the words are encountered in reading, and focuses on word meaning to improve comprehension. Examples include pedometer, creditor, prosecution, isotope, and crepe.  \nPrinciples  \nPre-teach words before reading.  \nAnalyze a reading passage before students read it. Identify Tier 2 and Tier 3 words they may not know and teach these words before they read. Teaching unfamiliar words before reading improves comprehension.  \nEnsure multiple exposures.  \nChoose words to teach that students are likely to see again. Try to ensure multiple exposures. Reinforce vocabulary by including practice activities where students use new words in writing. The more often a student sees and uses a new word, the more likely that word is to be incorporated in the student’s vocabulary.  \nFocus on breadth and depth.  \nVocabulary instruction should focus on two things: breadth and depth. By breadth we mean expanding students’ vocabularies by exposing them to new words and encouraging them to use these new words in speech and print. By depth, we mean understanding specific meanings, nuanced differences between similar words, word choice for audience and formality, and meaning in specific contexts.  \nTeach word-learning strategies.  \nTeach students word-learning strategies that will help them understand the meanings of words. Often a student’s first exposure to new a new word will take place while reading outside of class. Teaching students how common prefixes and suffixes affect the meanings of words, h","cbCaif89KX8XmtGy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaif89KX8XmtGy","pdf",222123,"English","# Vocabulary\n## Types of Vocabulary\n## Tiers of Vocabulary\n### Tier 1\n### Tier 2\n### Tier 3\n## Principles\n# Reading Comprehension\n## Goal of Reading\n## Comprehension Strategies","[{\"question\":\"What are the four types of vocabulary described in the handout?\",\"answer\":\"The handout defines listening vocabulary, speaking vocabulary, reading vocabulary, and writing vocabulary.
