Synopsis

This text presents a comprehensive plan for vocabulary instruction from kindergarten through high school―one broad enough to instruct students with small vocabularies, exceptional vocabularies, and every child in between. Written by one of the top experts in the field, this practical book presents a research-based program with plenty of classroom examples and strategies that teachers can use. The comprehensive plan includes four parts: rich and varied language experiences, teaching individual words, teaching word learning strategies, and fostering word consciousness.

Features:

  • Provides teachers with sound advice and research-based models of exemplary instruction.
  • Addresses issues related to all types of students, including English language learners.
  • Includes portraits of comprehensive vocabulary programs in primary, mid-elementary, middle school, and high school classrooms.
  • Represents a synthesis of the author’s 30 years of work on vocabulary development and instruction.
