Word Nerds takes you inside classrooms at a high-poverty urban
school and shows how two teachers implement creative, flexible
vocabulary instruction that improves their students' word knowledge
and confidence, enhances classroom community, and increases
achievement. Leslie Montgomery and Margot Holmes Smith weave
vocabulary into each school day using multisensory instruction that
includes music, art, literature, movement, games, drama, writing,
test-taking skills, and technology. Along the way, they turn every
student into a lover of language. With support from literacy
specialist Brenda Overturf, Leslie and Margot have developed a
five-part plan introducing new words in context, adding related
synonyms and antonyms, engaging students in several days of active
learning, celebrating new words, and assessing vocabulary
development that teaches all students to learn and love vocabulary.
This easy-to-read reference explains how to plan, teach, and assess
based on the latest research in vocabulary instruction and
learning. Forget copying definitions from the dictionary and
completing boring worksheets! Word mastery comes from intimate
knowledge of language. From prediction to practice to performance,
students from all backgrounds can discover how to make words their
own. After incorporating Leslie's and Margot's vocabulary plan into
your daily instruction, you and your students can become word
nerds, too!
