Vocabulary: The Key to Understanding

The WSHA Schools 2025 conference will focus on evidence-based vocabulary and assessment and intervention. Vocabulary breadth and depth are a well-established predictors of school outcomes such as reading comprehension. Monolingual and multilingual students with language disorders or complex communication needs may have difficulty learning, retaining, and using vocabulary.  They may learn words more slowly, know fewer words, lack rich representations of known words, and have more difficulty determining word meanings from context than their peers. More explicit instruction, exposure, and opportunity for practice may be warranted to ensure access to and engagement in the general education curriculum.
