Inhaltsangabe:

Word mastery comes from intimate knowledge of language. In Word Nerds:Teaching All Students to Learn and Love Vocabulary, authors Leslie Montgomery and Margot Holmes Smith take you inside classrooms where they implement creative, flexible vocabulary instruction that improves their students’ word knowledge and confidence.
With support from literacy specialist Brenda Overturf, the authors developed a five-part plan to teach all students to learn vocabulary:

• Introducing new words in context
• Adding related synonyms and antonyms
• Engaging in several days of active learning
• Celebrating new words
• Assessing vocabulary development

 
This easy-to-read reference explains how to plan, teach, and assess based on the latest research in vocabulary instruction and learning. After incorporating the authors’ plan, you can be a Word Nerd too!
