Tier 1 • Words of everyday speech • Usually learned in the early grades • Not considered a challenge to the average native speaker
Tier 2 • Tier Two (general academic words) are far more likely to appear in written texts than in speech. • They appear in all sorts of texts.

Tier 2 Take Aways • Kids do not learn the same words at the same rate • There are no grade specific word lists • Choosing words can be quite arbitrary Anchor by Leo Reynolds
More Tier 2 Take Aways • Chosen words need to be used in a variety of ways • What makes vocabulary valuable and important is not the words themselves so much as the understandings they afford (Marilyn Jager Adams (2009, p. 180), Common Core Appendix A)
