What’s Vocabulary ?
![Page 9: January 17, 2013 Dear Super Stars,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814979550346895db6c4ee/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Vocabulary Knowledge
Learning, as a language based activity, is fundamentally and profoundly dependent on vocabulary knowledge. Learners must have
access to the meanings of words that teachers, or their surrogates (e.g., other adults, books, films, etc.) use to guide them into contemplating known concepts in novel ways (i.e., to learn something
new).
Baker, Simmons, & Kame’enui,

Closing the Achievement Gap
It is now well accepted that the chief cause of the achievement gap between
socioeconomic groups is the language gap.
- E.D. Hirsch (2003)
