When all teachers in a school focus on the same
academic vocabulary and teach in the same way,
school has a powerful comprehensive approach.

Impact of Direct Vocabulary
Instruction
Research shows a student in the 50th
percentile in terms of ability to comprehend
the subject matter taught in school, with no
direct vocabulary instruction, scores in the
50th percentile ranking.
The same student, after specific content-area
terms have been taught in a specific way,
raises his/her comprehension ability to the
83rd percentile.
