Teaching Basic, Advanced, and Academic Vocabulary

Teaching Basic, Advanced, and Academic Vocabulary :
A Comprehensive Framework for Elementary Instruction

Robert J. Marzano

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 organised into 444 semantic clusters, which have been carefully curated to provide a rich semantic context for students and aid their learning.

* 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.

* Gain 420 word clusters specific to basic (tier one) and advanced (tier two) terms, and obtain a diagnostic assessment tool to identify where students fall on the cluster continuum.

* Discover how to utilise a six-step process when teaching academic (tier three) terms.

* Ascertain the benefit of having a coordinated schoolwide plan for vocabulary instruction, including early literacy development.

* Learn strategies for teaching students who require individualised assistance, such as students from poverty and English learners.

* Access an online vocabulary tool, as well as a student notebook designed to help learners track their progress with semantic clusters.
