Year One: Vocabulary across the Curriculum

Tier 1 words are simple, high frequency words that rarely require explicit instruction and are easily learned by students.

Tier 2 words are not encountered on a daily basis and may require explicit instruction. Acquisition is dependent upon variables such as the method/strategies used in vocabulary instruction and student readiness.

Tier 3 words are central to building knowledge and conceptual understanding within the discipline and should be integral to instruction of content. These words generally surface rarely in general vocabulary usage.
