 Studies by Swan & Dunstan; Hirsh & Nation highlighted the impact that an extensive vocabulary  has, including:

• vocabulary is connected with reading comprehension and is a predictor of students’ comprehension
• Students need to know 90-95% of the words in a text before they can comprehend that text
• Vocabulary needs to be explicitly taught first
