These words are less likely to appear in everyday conversation vocabulary used by the children. Tier 2 words are deliberately mapped across year groups, ensuring children encounter rich, transferable language. These are priority words for your child to see, say, learn and use. |\n| Tier 3 | Tier 3 words are low-frequency, subject-specific vocabulary used within a particular discipline or field of study. These words are often technical or specialised and are not commonly used in everyday conversation. |\n\n\n| How we learn vocabulary |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Talk in school\u003Cbr>| Each half term, children will be introduced to new vocabulary. We will use 4 strategies to help children learn the new words. During the school day, children will be exposed to and learn Tier 2 words by:\u003Cbr>See it – Children are exposed to the new word (one at a time), see the word in written form, link it to pictures and actions, teachers provide a child friendly definition of the word, teachers explain how the word is used in sentences and different situations.\u003Cbr>Say it – Children will practise saying the word for the correct pronunciation, both in isolation and in sentences.\u003Cbr>Learn it – Children will connect to prior knowledge: helping them to link new words to words they already know. They will explore word parts: prefixes, suffixes, and roots to help pupils decode and understand new words. Children will compare and contrast words, analyse their meanings, and explore their nuances. Finally, we will help children see how new words relate to their own lives and experiences.\u003Cbr>Apply it – Children will apply the new vocabulary into verbal and written contexts and sentences, across all areas of the curriculum. |\n| Talk at home | This booklet contains all the Tier 2 and Tier 3 vocabulary your child will be exposed to in school, it is broken into half termly learning. As research promotes the use of repetition to learn new vocabulary and embed into children’s knowledge, we ask parents to support the learning of the vocabulary at home too. The more children are exposed to and repeat each Tier 2 or Tier 3 word, the more successfully they will retain and be able to use the vocabulary. Therefore, you can support at home by pre-teaching your child the vocabulary for that half term. Ideas for how to do this could be: magnetic letters on the fridge, word splat with flashcards, talking about the words as a family and putting into a sentence, checking your child’s understanding of the word and writing in sand!
