Check out the research mentioned in the episode:
Research stresses the importance of students mastering a significant amount of Tier 2 words to be academically successful.
(Blachowicz, Fisher, Ogle, & Taffe, 2013; Marzano, 2004)
Words should not be taught as “lists”, but rather how the words relate to the content and to each other because instruction without context has usually been found to be ineffective
(Roseberry-McKibbin, 2013)
“. . .targeting vocabulary in secondary-aged children with vocabulary difficulties could potentially help their access to the curriculum and, hence, their future academic attainment, employment prospects and mental health.”
– Wright et al., 2017
