--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
"For the Love of Words is a practical tool for elementary
teachers as they plan for systematic and intentional vocabulary
instruction."
--Jo Ann Christofferson, literacy consultant and literacy coach,
Mississippi Bend Area Education Agency, Bettendorf, Iowa
