"Effective vocabulary instruction is the key to students' literacy development, content-area mastery and conceptual thinking. Yet how do teachers know which words to teach and how best to teach them? Authored by four nationally recognised researchers, teacher educators and vocabulary experts, this F-12 resource focuses on how to teach the Greek and Latin roots that lie at the core of over 90 per cent of academic vocabulary. Beginning with word families (rimes) and progressing to word roots (prefixes, bases, suffixes), students learn how to 'divide and conquer' the vocabulary of school. They learn how to make 'cognate connections' between new and familiar words. This revised edition incorporates the latest research, adds chapters on word families and spelling, and shares updated instructional methods, including differentiation strategies and support for English learners. With descriptions of in-class applications, this book connects the fascinating world of words to the real-life experiences of today's students and teachers." -- Back cover.
