Which is NOT one of the criteria for selecting vocabulary words?

Words that are simple and easy to spell
Important words for understanding a concept or the text
Useful words likely to see again and again
Difficult words with multiple meanings

The correct answer is: Words that are simple and easy to spell

The criterion "Words that are simple and easy to spell" is not typically a factor when selecting vocabulary words for instruction. It is more important to focus on words that are essential for understanding a concept or the text, words that are useful and likely to be encountered frequently, and words that may be challenging but enriching, such as difficult words with multiple meanings. Therefore, in the context of selecting vocabulary words for instruction, the emphasis is on choosing words that will enhance students' understanding and mastery of the content rather than solely focusing on simplicity and ease of spelling.
