(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 the context of the sentence (e.g., in-sentence example or definition) to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words or multiple meaning words;

• (C) complete analogies using knowledge of antonyms and synonyms (e.g., boy:girl as male:____ or girl:woman as boy:_____);

• (D) identify the meaning of common idioms; and

• (E) use a dictionary or glossary to determine the meanings, syllabication, and pronunciation of unknown words.
