The approach is systematic because it begins with and builds upon a word list drawn from vocabulary that students will encounter in their reading. It provides students with the vocabulary skills they will need to achieve higher-level reading proficiency and to succeed at standardized tests With the introduction of reading passages and literary text, the Enriched Editioi goes further than previous editions in integrating vocabulary instruction in the context of reading. (For a discussion of the importance of vocabulary in reading comprehension, see pages 131-132. For moro on how VocaauLany Workstop can be used to complement a literature program, see pages 133-135.) Acornerstone of the VocaauLary Woakshor approach is intensive practic through varied and abundant “hands-on” exercises. This method provides both exposure to different meanings of the key words studied and coverage of the ange of each key word through its appearance in many different contexts. The aim of the pattarn of intensive practice is to embed the words in the students active, daily-use vocabulary.
