(2) Reading/Vocabulary Development. Students understand new vocabulary and use it when reading and writing. Students are expected to:

• (A) determine the meaning of grade-level academic English words derived from Latin, Greek, or other linguistic roots and affixes;

• (B) use context (e.g., in-sentence restatement) to determine or clarify the meaning of unfamiliar or multiple meaning words;

• (C) produce analogies with known antonyms and synonyms;

• (D) identify and explain the meaning of common idioms, adages, and other sayings; and

• (E) use a dictionary, a glossary, or a thesaurus (printed or electronic) to determine the meanings, syllabication, pronunciations, alternate word choices, and parts of speech of words.
