Identifying Tier 2 Words in Text

Take a section of the newspaper and skim to find as many Tier 2 words as you can. Remember that tier 2 words are high-frequency words for mature language users (coincidence, absurd, industrious). If you get stuck, ask yourself the following questions:

• Is this word most likely to appear in a wide variety of texts?

• Is this a word that mature language users would use in written and oral language?
