In the article Vulcanizing Vocabulary: Librarians Lead Path to Achievement | On Common Core by Paige Jaeger, the author points out the strong link between robust, up-to-date school libraries and vocabulary comprehension and achievement by students. Librarians can support the Common Core standards by providing complex texts in various nonfiction areas, as well as modeling vocabulary-rich lessons in the library setting, providing “word of the day” lessons, and including vocabulary-related games in the library collection. - Jaeger, Paige. "Vulcanizing Vocabulary: Librarians Lead Path to Achievement | On Common Core." School Library Journal. N.p., 25 June 2013. Web. 07 Oct. 2013.
