No lists to consult. We recommend identifying unfamiliar words in texts to be read, and choosing those that are tier 2 β will have broad application across texts.

While #vocabularydevelopment may seem daunting, it doesn't have to be! Students acquire new words in two primary ways: through incidental and explicit word learning. #TheVocabularyPlaybook
ALT Vocabulary Development: Incidental Word Learning: notice and discuss unfamiliar words during daily interactions, wordplay, games, etc. Explicit Word Learning: Direct Instruction in pronunciations, word meanings, parts of speech, etc.

Interesting (and needed) meta-analysis on how text difficulty influences fluency intervention outcomes. This makes me rethink how I've approached text, accuracy, and fluency in the past. Good work @burnsmk1 doi.org/10.1177/153450842412β¦

This morning I listened to @jakeddowns discuss connectives, appositives, and anaphora (syntax) with @rach_knecht and @mpbtownsend. Excellent!
I was pulling weeds and a rock moved in my hand! It was just a toad who buried himself back in the soil. πΈ
New TLP Episode- it's a great one!
Connectives, appositives, and anaphora anyone? @rach_knecht and @mpbtownsend break down syntax for us.
Excellent information from knowledgeable scholars
