- Receptive Knowledge of a word = we understand that word when it is spoken, or when we read it
- Productive Knowledge=  we can pronounce and appropriately use that word in conversation, or in writing
- for success in school, students need to know thousands of low frequency words, along with high frequency words
- there are roughly 1,000,000 words in the English language, while 110,000 are commonly used
- During shared reading, if more than 10 words out of 100 are unfamiliar, chances are the text is too difficult
- instill the love of reading as best as you can ( make sure classroom library is diverse and caters to all the need within the classroom : gender, cultural, interest, academic, etc )]]> 2018-08-10 00:27:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mick_ralph/3td6tosdz1ef/wish/272565087 mick_ralph https://padlet.com/mick_ralph/3td6tosdz1ef/wish/272565615 - extended vocabulary knowledge can enhance overall academic development
