"As a researcher and educator primarily concerned with improving children’s reading comprehension, I implore you to read this book on vocabulary. Your time will be well spent."
--from the Foreword by Nell K. Duke

"Elementary school teachers will find a wealth of ideas that can expand their students’ reading, writing, and thinking vocabulary.”
--Laura Robb, director, Language Arts and curriculum coordinator, Powhatan School, Boyce, Virginia

"This lively and useful book addresses the need of elementary and middle school teachers to make vocabulary instruction sensible and contextualized in unique and powerful ways. The section on ‘incidental learning’ is worth the cover price for any teacher at any level."
--Jeffrey Wilhelm, professor, Boise State University

"For all those who love words and who love to teach children words, this is an eminently practical book. It more than delivers what it promises."
--Kathleen Roskos, professor, John Carroll University, Cleveland, Ohio
