What percentage of words in a text or speech do students need to know to understand their reading or hearing? Shockingly… 95%!
This percentage is even more shocking when you consider that students encounter about 180,000 new words each school year.
Teaching vocabulary systematically must be a critical aspect of instruction at every grade level, in every subject, and in every school because it is one of the most important instructional intervention practices schools can employ to close the achievement gap and raise student achievement for all students.
When schools commit to teaching vocabulary strategies, student achievement increases. This requires a proactive approach to planning and teaching vocabulary that focuses on both high yield vocabulary strategies and fun and engaging vocabulary activities.
