An Essential Vocabulary: An Update.
Davis, Anita P.; McDaniel, Thomas R.
Reading Teacher, v52 n3 p308-09 Nov 1998
Updates a list (originally published in 1963) of "survival" or essential words--words so important for survival and success in everyday life that everyone should know them. Notes that recognition of these key words and phrases may require non-English-speaking individuals, disabled readers, and adult literacy students to use rote memorization for mastery. (RS)
