Reading for Comprehension


Academic Vocabulary Words

Publishing companies that produce reading comprehension exams for schools
and academic institutions use or make norm-references academic vocabulary
lists graded by academic reading level. Many state municipalities and publishing
companies post these academic vocabulary lists on their web sites in order of
reading level or RIT level, and educators can use them free of charge. Using
and having a strong understanding of these words will help you and your
students achieve reading comprehension success. The words by them selves
are very hard to teach out of context so I refer to them during instruction
when applicable. Academic word lists are also used as part of word wall
games, drills and challenge vocabulary practice.
