Teaching Basic, Advanced, and Academic Vocabulary: A Comprehensive Framework for Elementary Instruction Carefully curated clusters of tiered vocabulary for K-5 language and literacy development | 1 Edition

Details about Teaching Basic, Advanced, and Academic Vocabulary: A Comprehensive Framework for Elementary Instruction Carefully curated clusters of tiered vocabulary for K-5 language and literacy development:

Construct a strong foundation for literacy development and academic achievement. Based on a robust analysis of high-frequency words, Dr. Robert J. Marzano identifies more than 8,000 basic, advanced, and academic vocabulary terms for grades K–5. The terms are organized into 444 semantic clusters, which have been carefully curated to provide a rich semantic context for students and aid their learning.

Use this resource to help students learn a tiered vocabulary and close the achievement gap in education.

• Understand the importance of students having strong foundational vocabulary and its effect on academic achievement.
• Learn the cluster approach to vocabulary instruction and how it helps students gradually learn the unique features of terms.
