For students at my school, especially lower elementary, a lot of the words in the passage would be tier 3 words since we don't have a music program. https://nowcomment.com/documents/40909?scroll_to=2852223 https://nowcomment.com/documents/40909?scroll_to=2852223 Since it's a passage about instruments bringing realia or visuals would help students comprehend the passage and better visualize the instruments mentioned in the passage.
