Addressing a key skill in reading, writing, and speaking, this
comprehensive book is grounded in cutting-edge research on vocabulary
development. It presents evidence-based instructional approaches for
at-risk students, including English language learners and those with
learning difficulties. Coverage ranges from storybook reading
interventions for preschoolers to direct instruction and independent
word-learning strategies for older students. Guidance is provided on
using word lists effectively and understanding how word features
influence learning. The book also reviews available vocabulary
assessment tools and describes how to implement them in a
response-to-intervention framework.
