Joel Kenyon @joel120193.substack.com · Oct 16 I fully get that preteaching Tier 3 words before they're used is best for understanding. However, just looking at AQA B6, it is impossible to preteach all of these words whilst also teaching actual content. This is one topic out of 24 on combined... The curriculum is too big!

Ben Bishop and I wrote a Teaching Geography article on a similar theme: this is why we argue that a strategic approach to disciplinary literacy that makes the most of KS3 can be so valuable! drpreece.home.blog/2022/10/02/g...
Plus, just because you've "gone over" the relevant words, doesn't mean they can then cope with textbook-esque level explanations. Even if they haven't already switched off.
What is the premise said to be behind pre-teaching them is best?
