Which of the following best describes the relationship between knowledge and vocabulary?

Answer

As a student builds knowledge, they are building vocabulary related to the topic they are reading about or learning about, and in doing so$,$ they are exponentially expanding the number of words that they can comprehend.

Knowledge is what a person knows about something, and vocabulary is how much someone knows about words.

Students with limited vocabulary will benefit from ongoing exposure to leveled text only, which will provide opportunities to build knowledge while working with words within their reading range.

Having some knowledge might support students in understanding a vocabulary word and vice versa, but each of them are distinct and influence reading comprehension separately.
