Comprehension is complex and requires multiple skills and sources of knowledge. The Reading Comprehension Blueprint, a master plan for effective instruction, identifies vocabulary as one of the critical contributors to constructing meaning of texts. Knowing the definition of a word is foundational but the ability to access and apply deeper levels of word meaning is necessary to understanding complex text and for academic learning. The reader’s oral and written experiences are key to acquiring necessary breadth and depth of word knowledge. The Blueprint provides a structured approach & comprehensive framework for both intentional and incidental vocabulary instruction. Let’s learn together as we explore informed instructional routines, strategies, and activities for acquiring & applying word meaning to understand & express the meaning of texts.
