NEW SCIENCE STANDARDS

“Marzano and his colleagues have written a top-notch guide for teaching vocabulary in science. They weave together recent research on vocabulary instruction and sound practical advice for teaching it in ways that promote both science learning and comprehending text. It is an invaluable resource for teachers at all levels.” — SUSAN B. NEUMAN, Professor and Chair, Teaching and Learning Department, Steinhardt School “Teachers who read this book will never again need to resort to the ineffective isolated practice of having students look up words in the dictionary. Useful word lists and descriptions of specific teaching practices that target both general academic vocabulary and science-specific terminology make lesson planning convenient. A unique and powerful aspect of this text is the explanation of how a school or district can create a cohesive, comprehensive vocabulary program that moves students closer to achieving the challenging new academic standards. ” — KATHERINE STAHL, Clinical Associate Professor and Literacy Program Director, Department of Teaching and Learning, New York University
