In addition to vocabulary necessary for the reading selections, Milestones also provides explicit instruction of Academic Vocabulary. The academic vocabulary taught here is recycled throughout the Chapter, especially in the Reading Strategy section. In the Student Edition, the academic vocabulary words are always purple.

Suggestions for teaching the Reading Strategy follow.

Previewing and preteaching are included, as well as opportunities to practice and to make connections with previously learned strategies or applications to other readings.

Another Academic Vocabulary section, for the Reading Comprehension Questions, affords yet another opportunity to build vocabulary for student academic success.
