Five Vocabulary Assessments
WHY?
Word study develops students' abilities in phonics, word recognition, and vocabulary (Baker, 2000).
Research shows that if students are truly to understand what they read, they must grasp upward of 95% of the words (CCSS Appendix A, p. 32.)
Nearly one third of high school graduates are not ready for college-level English composition courses (ACT, 2005);
“...we have come to understand that grammar is intimately linked with power. Power inhabits the linguistic codes a culture accepts. And control of grammar confers access.” (Delpit, 1995)
Grammatical knowledge can also aid reading comprehension and interpretation (Gargani, 2006; Williams, 2000, 2005) Researchers recommend that students be taught to use knowledge of grammar and usage, as well as knowledge of vocabulary, to comprehend complex academic texts (García & Beltrán, 2003; Short & Fitzsimmons, 2007; RAND Reading Study Group, 2002)(cited in the Common Core Standards - Appendix A)
