Quote
Vocabulary is important because if you’ve never seen snow before or heard anyone talk about it, you might more easily get tripped up on the word “snow,” even if you possessed the decoding skills to sound out “sn-ow.” It’s the difference between being able to grasp quickly, “Oh, sure, that word is the stuff that falls from the sky in winter” if you live in Montana, or wondering in your Louisiana classroom, “Huh? What’s a ‘sn-ow’?”
