This focus on students’ understanding of words in varied contexts highlights the importance of vocabulary in reading comprehension. Students' performance on the vocabulary questions is analyzed separately from the reading comprehension results and reported on a separate 0–500 vocabulary scale. Vocabulary scores are available for 2009, 2011, and 2013 at grades 4 and 8, and for 2009 and 2013 at grade 12.</p> </div> <div class="heroes heroes--top cf"> <div class="heroes__header"> <h3>National Score Trends</h3> </div> <div class="hero hero--first"> <div class="hero__header"> <h3>4th <span>Grade</span></h3> </div> <div class="hero__content"> <img src="img/table_arrow_up1.png" alt="The number one superimposed on an arrow pointing up" /> <div class="small_text">Up 1 score point</div> <div class="med_text">SINCE</div> <div class="large_text">2011</div> </div> </div> <div class="hero hero--middle"> <div class="hero__header"> <h3>8th <span>Grade</span></h3> </div> <div class="hero__content"> <img src="img/table_arrow_up1.png" alt="The number one superimposed on an arrow pointing up" /> <div class="small_text">Up 1 score point</div> <div class="med_text">SINCE</div> <div class="large_text">2011</div> </div> </div> <div class="hero hero--last"> <div class="hero__header"> <h3>12th <span>Grade</span></h3> </div> <div class="hero__content"> <img src="img/table_arrow_not_changed.png" alt="Side-to-side arrows" /> <div class="small_text">No score change</div> <div class="med_text">SINCE</div> <div class="large_text">2009</div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="explore_more_words"><a href="#score-changes">Explore score details</a></div> <div class="heroes cf"> <div class="heroes__header"> <h3>Examples of Students' Vocabulary Knowledge</h3> </div> <div class="hero hero--first"> <div class="hero__content"> <img src="img/hero_4th_v3.png" alt="75% of 4th-graders recognized the meaning of the word fascinating" /> </div> </div> <div class="hero hero--middle"> <div class="hero__content"> <img src="img/hero_8th_v3.png" alt="79% of 8th-graders recognized the meaning of the word intently" /> </div> </div> <div class="hero hero--last"> <div class="hero__content"> <img src="img/hero_12th_v3.png" alt="76% of 12th-graders recognized the meaning of the word precedent" /> </div> </div> </div> <div class="explore_more_words"><a href="#knowledge">Explore more words</a></div> <div class="note cf"> <a class="show_hide_note show" href="">Show Notes and Sources</a> <div class="note__inner" style="display: none;"> <div>NOTE: The NAEP reading vocabulary scale ranges from 0–500.</div> <div>SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences, National Center for Education Statistics, National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), 2009, 2011, and 2013 Reading Assessments.</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="tiles cf"> <div class="tile"> <a class="tile__inner" href="#score-changes"> <h2>National Score Trends</h2> <div class="tile__content">Scores increased from 2011 to 2013 for middle- and higher-performing students at grade 4 and lower-performing students at grade 8.</div> <div class="tile__image"><img src="img/tile_scores.png" alt="National Score Trends" /></div> </a> </div> <div class="tile"> <a class="tile__inner" href="#student-groups"> <h2>Score Trends by Student Groups</h2> <div class="tile__content">White 4th-graders and Hispanic 8th-graders scored higher in 2013 than in 2011.</div> <div class="tile__image"><img src="img/tile_groups.png" alt="Score Trends by Student Groups" /></div> </a> </div> <div class="tile"> <a class="tile__inner" href="#achievement-gaps"> <h2>Achievement Gaps</h2> <div class="tile__content">In 2013, female students scored higher than male students at grades 4 and 8, but there was no gender gap at grade 12.</div> <div class="tile__image"><img src="img/tile_gaps.png" alt="Achievement Gaps" /></div> </a> </div> <div class="tile"> </div> </div> </div> <nav role="navigation" class="nav nav--bottom notFront"> <div class="nav-controls"> <div class="nav-controls-left"> <div class="nav-controls-link-left" data-backward role="button" aria-label="Go back" tabindex="0"><span>BACK</span></div> <div class="nav-controls-link-content"><span data-back></span></div> </div> <div class="nav-controls-right"> <div class="nav-controls-link-content"><span data-next></span></div> <div class="nav-controls-link-right" data-forward role="button" aria-label="Go fowards" tabindex="0"><span>NEXT</span></div> </div> </div> </nav> <footer id="footer" role="footer"> <div class="footer__inner cf"> <ul class="footer__utilityNav"> <li><a href="files/2015016.pdf">Results at a Glance</a></li> <li><a href="#/about">About the Assessment</a></li> <li class="last"><a href="http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/">NAEP Website</a></li> </ul> </div> </footer>   <script src="lib/d3.min.js"></script>  <script src="lib/require.min.js" data-main="all.js"></script> </body> </html>
