Robust instruction affects comprehension because students learn to enjoy the vocabulary.  This type of instruction moves away from just looking things up in the dictionary to develop a true love for language. "Being curious about the meaning of an unknown word that one encounters and intrigued by how it relates to other words is a hallmark of those who develop large vocabularies." page 29

To acquire word knowledge from
reading requires adequate decoding skills, the ability to recognize that a
word is unknown, and the competency to extract meaningful information
about the word from the context. Readers cannot be engaging with the
latter two if they are struggling with decoding. Thus, depending on wide
reading as a source of vocabulary growth leaves those children and young
people who are most in need of enhancing their vocabulary repertoires
with a very serious deficit. In summary, written context is clearly an
important source of new vocabulary for any reader. But relying on learning
word meanings from independent reading is not an adequate way to deal
with students’ vocabulary development.

Why is it important for students to develop an interest in and awareness of words? The statement “students need to develop an inter-est in and an awareness of words means that if students are intrinsically motivated to learn new words, they will embrace broadening their vocabulary. They will seek out new vocabulary words. Learning new vocabulary words won’t be a task that is only done out of necessity, it will be embraced and become second nature. In paragraph 2 on page 29, students become interested and enthusiastic about words when instruction is rich and lively.    It also allows students to take notice of words in a more general way. It is important for students to develop an interest in vocabulary because readers can't fully understand texts without knowing the meaning of the words within the text. When they have an interest in words they have a connection to the words. It needs to be fun and interactive.
