Teacher Insights 

ELA OAS Glossary pg 4
  • Domain-specific vocabulary refers to “relatively low-frequency, content-specific words that appear in textbooks and other instructional materials; for example, apex in math, escarpment in geography, and isobar in science” (Blachowicz, C. & Fisher, P., p.1).  

  • The intent of this standard is that students use new academic vocabulary, content-specific vocabulary, and grade-level vocabulary in complete sentences.

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.
