This new edition retains the most popular features of the earlier edition and now includes: new and expanded ideas for teaching academic vocabulary, new resources such as learner’s dictionaries for spelling and morphology instruction for older students, expanded coverage of vocabulary instruction for diverse students, particularly English language learners and struggling readers, and an emphasis on connections to the Common Core State Standards.
