"An accessible volume for any educator or curriculum director who
desires to take an innovative approach to vocabulary
instruction."--Journal of Language and Literacy Education
" Teaching Words can be a tool to inform early and late career
educators seeking foundational knowledge about classroom vocabulary
instruction. The historical footing paired with critical issues
such as linguistic diversity, multilingual students, and
intentional materials selection offers an empirically-based yet
approachable guide for teachers to strengthen vocabulary
instruction within their classrooms. As stated by Hiebert,
'Long-lasting changes in the complex contexts of classrooms are
made through steady application of small changes' (p. x). With
Teaching Words, educators can develop effective, meaningful
vocabulary instruction one small change at a time."--Teachers
