These words were then edited to select base words only and ended up as a manageable list of 6,768 words for K to 6th graders.
Marzano’s combined list of book words and standardized test words came to 30,371 words. In addition, he compiled a second set of 17,000 words taken directly from common standardized tests. Marzano’s list is described as a list of “school” words since the words were specifically taken from actual textbooks and literature books school children commonly read. The basis of this list is Robert Marzano’s word list. These lists only lengthen and increase in difficulty as the grades ascend.īut again, this academic word list does not get us to the requisite 20,000 words by 3 rd grade, so DataWORKS compiled a list of words that teachers could use in the classroom. A sample of the types of academic words students should know for each grade (K-2) is listed below. So, what other words are important for students? Well, in a classroom sense, academic vocabulary is important for students to know in order to be successful on tests and in the classroom.

And while that is a great start, research tells us that the full number of words students should know by grade 3 is closer to 20,000 (Anglin, 1993). The Dolch word list provides teachers with 220 words and 95 nouns that students should learn from pre-school to Grade 3. (Some of the nouns he suggests are a bit outdated for today). His list was prepared in 1936 and was originally published in his book Problems in Reading in 1948. Most teachers and classrooms start out teaching the Dolch word list compiledby Edward William Dolch, a major proponent of beginning reading instruction. The quick answer is that students should be taught a rich mixture of academic, content, and support vocabulary in every grade.īut what specific words should they be taught? That takes a little more explaining…
One of the most frequent requests we receive is for a list of words that students should be taught in each grade level.
