  • Academic Vocabulary refers to words associated with content knowledge. Within every discipline, there is a specific set of words to represent its concepts and processes.

  • Domain-appropriate vocabulary refers to words that are “relatively low-frequency and content-specific that appear in textbooks and other instructional materials” (Blachowicz, C. & Fisher, P., p.1). Furthermore, domain-appropriate words include technical words related to specific academic disciplines.

  • An inference is an act or process of deriving logical conclusions from premises known or assumed to be true; the conclusions drawn from this process.

    • It does not refer to using context clues to breakdown vocabulary.

Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
