Standards33
Company
LOGO
Increase or Decrease Time for reading Use of varied, rich text Looking up definitions as a single source of word
knowledge Assessments that ask students for single definitions Opportunities for students to hear or use words in natural
sentence contexts Using context as a highly reliable tool for increasing
comprehension Finding the word or concept that will have the biggest
impact on comprehension rather than “covering” many words superficially
Opportunities for inference

Levels of Vocabulary
Level I Words Level II Words Level III Words Level IV Words
These are words that are used over and over in everyday speech. Since they are so frequently used in a variety of contexts, virtually all children learn them.
These are words that are likely tobe learned only through reading or through instruction. They have been referred to as thevocabulary of educated persons, as “academicvocabulary,” and as “instructional vocabulary.” They are words that are necessary for general success in school.
These are words associated witha particular field of study or profession. These words make up the technical vocabulary or jargon of a field.
These are words that areinteresting but so rare and esoteric that they areprobably not useful even in most educationalenvironments, and they are not associated with afield of study or profession.

SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 Rel. No. 60506 / August 14, 2009
This case revolves around convertible bond trades that Applicants made at CIBC between August 2000 and January 2002. Convertible bonds, as with most bonds, provide a fixed return of principal. Unlike straight bonds, however, convertible bonds include a right to exchange the bonds for the common stock of the issuer at a predetermined price. The price of a convertible bond is thus directly related to the price of the underlying stock. The convertible bond price therefore tends to rise as the underlying stock price rises, and fall when the underlying stock price falls.6
