The knowledge anyone has about a topic is based on the vocabulary of that information (Marzano & Pickering, 2005).

“There is evidence for an association between vocabulary knowledge and academic attainment.” – Spencer et al., 2017

“. . .children with lower levels of vocabulary knowledge may be less likely to acquire vocabulary successfully in an incidental fashion.” — Dixon et al., 2022
