Beyond Words: Teaching Vocabulary for Reading Comprehension and Language Growth

  • Course
  • 13 Lessons

Vocabulary knowledge is one of the strongest predictors of reading comprehension — and one of the most under-taught components of literacy instruction. This self-paced course walks educators and SLPs through an evidence-based framework for selecting, introducing, and reinforcing Tier 2 vocabulary in a way that builds both comprehension and oral language.

What you'll learn:

  • Why Tier 2 vocabulary is a critical leverage point for struggling readers

  • How to identify high-utility words worth explicit teaching

  • A step-by-step process for introducing vocabulary in ways that stick

  • Practical strategies for reinforcing words across lessons and subjects

For classroom teachers (K–8), literacy coaches, and SLPs working in school-based or clinical settings.
