A student’s ability to read depends largely on the size and quality of his or her vocabulary. However, despite that fact, vocabulary instruction has not evolved to the same degree as instruction in word recognition, comprehension, and other areas of literacy. This book will change that. Containing selections by top names in reading research – Linda Gambrell, Jerry Johns, Timothy Rasinski , to name a few – it offers cutting-edge word-learning strategies for all students, including struggling, gifted, and English-language learners. For use with Grades 3 and up.Cathy Collins Block is the author of 'The Vocabulary-Enriched Classroom: Practices for Improving the Reading Performance of All Students in Grades 3 and Up (Theory and Practice)', published 2006 under ISBN 9780439730938 and ISBN 0439730937.
