This practical resource gives teachers what they need to make vocabulary instruction in the content areas engaging and effective. Built on a research-based framework, including morphology, multiple-meaning words, and word-learning strategies, it offers both background knowledge for educators and interactive strategies for students. Sample word lists and examples from science, math, social studies, and more help teachers target the right words for their curriculum and texts. Supports for academic talk have students actively using and applying vocabulary in meaningful ways. Whether used for explicit teaching, mini-lessons, or embedded in inquiry, this all-in-one resource promotes deeper comprehension and word curiosity.
