"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.

Concepts, conversation, collaboration—vocabulary instruction is so much more than lists of words. More is more when it comes to students’ vocabulary knowledge, and in The Vocabulary Playbook, educators in K-12 get ideas for transforming all children into curious, capable word learners. The key? Put away the word-list mindset, and embrace active modeling, peer work, and independent practice. Five modules offer direct instruction and effective routines that show how to: Select and teach only the most high-utility, transferable words that are ripe for discussion Use direct instruction to model word-solving in each content area Teach morphology in ways that invite students to apply understandings in reading, writing, talk, and listening Turn academic word-learning into a relevant experience with peer collaboration activities Create a culture of word consciousness by emphasizing concepts, modeling curiosity, and offering "low-risk" routines that make it okay to not yet know Intentional vocabulary instruction is critical in every grade, and in every content area. With The Vocabulary Playbook, your approach is now tactical, transparent, and fun. Whether you are an administrator executing a school-wide plan or a teacher eager for practical strategies, this is the book that will help students build academic success—word by word.
