Video 5: K1+K2

K1+K2

 (K1 + K2 = 97%) means that 97% of the words in the text are used in the first High-Frequent 2000 word (families). Please note that just because 97% of stories are written within 2000-word families, it doesn't necessarily mean they're easy to tell for the teacher or easy for the students to understand. It depends on what level of words the remaining 3% are. 3% of the 500 words will be 15 words. These 15 OFF-LIST words are often the words that accurately convey the meaning of the story. Teachers must explain such words using comprehension-aiding supplementation in a way that students can understand. Also, understanding is determined not only by the meaning of the unknown words, but by being able to easily guess the flow of the story. It has to do with an individual's life experience.
