505 _a"Vocabulary knowledge plays a huge role in the academic success of middle school students. But which words do students need to know to master the content in their textbooks, and how can they be learned? This book has the practical answers educators need.
505 _aMiddle school teachers will get five extensive, research-based lists of academic vocabulary words most frequently used in student textbooks--the words kids need to know to increase their comprehension and succeed in school. They'll discover how to help their students:
_t- strengthen academic vocabulary knowledge in five key school subject;
_t- master the content they need to know under the Common Core State Standards;
_t- understand why the words they encounter in textbooks are important;
_t- improve comprehension and eliminate roadblocks to understanding what they read.
505 _aTeachers will also get critical background information on the importance of academic vocabulary, proven teaching strategies for vocabulary instruction, and detailed vocabulary instruction activities, including "fix-ups" for struggling readers and English language learners and extensions that build on the activities. Accessible and practical, this book is an ideal resource for in-service professional development and preservice teacher preparation courses!" (Book Cover)
