Questions to help determine if a word falls into tier 2: Is it a word that students are not likely to know? Is this a word that would be used by a mature language user? Is it a frequently used word? Is it a word that is generally useful? Is it necessary for comprehension? Can the meaning of the word be explained using every-day language? Is it a “cross curricular” term? If you can answer yes to most of these questions, then it is likely that the word is a tier 2 vocabulary word. https://www.teachwire.net/news/introduce-all-children-to-formal-language-early-to-unlock-long-term- success?utm_source=TeachReadingandWriting-newsletter&utm_medium=20181114&utm_campaign=trw-weekly
