Milestones Overview


Effective vocabulary support in EVERY chapter Milestones includes three opportunities for vocabulary instruction,

practice, and assessment in EVERY chapter:

• Academic Vocabulary—for cross-curricular support

• Vocabulary from the Reading Selection—for reading comprehension

• Vocabulary Development—for strategies inside and outside of the classroom

More DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTIONsupport for the multi-level classroom

“Given the

importance

of academic

background

knowledge,

and the fact

that vocabulary is such an

essential aspect of it, one of

the most crucial services that

teachers can provide,

particularly for students who

do not come from

academically advantaged

backgrounds, is systematic

instruction in important

academic terms.”

Robert J. Marzano and Debra J. Pickering, 2005
