This is a great article that outlines the benefits of intentionality in vocabulary instruction. Moving from less complex to more complex terms in our modeling and expectations supports students in understanding, and using complex vocabulary with ease.
This is very practical with various real-life examples of how real educators implement ideas for vocabulary instruction. The best point for me – don’t dumb down the language used! Sophisticated language is okay!
