We've learned a lot in recent years about the important role
vocabulary plays in making meaning, yet many teachers still
struggle with vocabulary instruction that goes beyond weekly word
lists. Effective vocabulary instruction is particularly vital in
the content areas, where the specialized language used by
"insiders" often creates a barrier to understanding for those new
to the subjects. In "Inside Words," Janet Allen merges recent
research and key content-area teaching strategies to show teachers
how to help students understand the academic vocabulary found in
textbooks, tests, articles, and other informational texts.
Each instructional tool is listed alphabetically along with its
purpose: building background knowledge; teaching words that are
critical to comprehension; providing support during reading and
writing; developing a conceptual framework; and assessing students'
understanding of words and concepts.
"Inside Words" builds on Janet's previous books "Words, Words,
Words" and "Tools for Teaching Content Literacy," to provide a
much-needed middle and secondary school resource for teaching
vocabulary, not only in the language arts, but in all of the
content areas.
