Learning new words is foundational to success in school and life. Researchers have known for years that how many word meanings a student knows is one of the strongest predictors of how well that student will understand text and be able to communicate through writing. This book is about how children learn the meanings of new words (and the concepts they convey) and how teachers can be strategic in deciding which words to teach, how to teach them, and which words not to teach at all.
The book is divided in two sections: the general and the topic-specific vocabulary. The former has 37 units, whereas the latter has 21 units. At the end, you'll also find the answer keys and vocabulary record sheets.
The best thing you'll get from this book is nuances on how to express yourself in everyday situations.
