Vocabulary is critical to reading success
Comprehension improves when you know what the words mean. Since comprehension is the ultimate goal of reading, you cannot overestimate the importance of vocabulary development.
Words are the currency of communication. A robust vocabulary improves all areas of communication — listening, speaking, reading and writing.
When children and adolescents improve their vocabulary, their academic and social confidence and competence improve, too.
