Milestones Overview
Sampler Page 9Milestones 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
