At a curricular or instructional level, texts—within and across grade levels—need to be selected around topics or themes that systematically develop the knowledge base of students.” 19

Word learning is most efficient when the reader (listener) already understands the context well. Making tiny gains on a dozen words is more efficient than large gains on just one word at a time. What makes vocabulary valuable and important is not the words themselves so much as the understandings they afford. 25
