* Good straightforward vocab list
* Included link to Marzano
* I like how you included the difference between tier 1,2,3 - helpful.
* Need to include target age for your book.
* I would look at the definition of salary, it looks the same as wage.
* Maybe move farmhand to tier 2 - it seems that it would be common sense, more than extend learning.
* Move blacklisted to 3 - I think this word seems more extended
