Vocabulary:
"Students need to develop both their speaking and listening vocabulary. The first refers to those words a student can use when speaking and the latter refers to the spoken words that a student can understand. Each type of vocabulary supports literacy development, as well as learning in other subject areas. Vocabulary knowledge is especially important to reading and listening comprehension."
